At the center is the beautiful, unconquerable witch,
Merrick. She is a descendant of the gens de colors libres,
a cast derived from the black mistresses of white men, a
society of New Orleans octaroons and quadroons, steeped in
the lore and ceremony of voodoo, who reign in the shadowy
world where the African and the French--the white and the
dark--intermingle. Her ancestors are the Great Mayfair
Witches, of whom she knows nothing--and from whom she
inherits the power and magical knowledge of a Circe.
Into this exotic New Orleans realm comes David Talbot,
hero, storyteller, adventurer, almost mortal vampire,
visitor from another dark realm. It is he who recounts
Merrick's haunting tale--a tale that takes us from the New
Orleans of the past and present to the jungles of
Guatemala, from the Mayan ruins of a century ago to
ancient civilizations not yet explored.
