  • "Merrick es una bellísima descendiente de les gens de couleur libres, una casa orientada a las prácticas del vudú y surgida en Nueva Orleans del mestizaje entre las mujeres africanas y los colonizadores franceses. La joven ignora que ha heredado los extraordinarios poderes que dieron fama a sus antecesoras, las brujas de Mayfair. A ese mundo de oscuros exotismos llega el vampiro David Talbor. Es él quien relata la fascinante trayectoria vital de Merrick y nos lleva desde la Nueva Orleans del pasado y del presente hasta la selva guatemalteca, y de las seculares ruinas mayas al corazón de civilizaciones todavía ignotas. Un relato cautivador en el que los poderes mágicos y los fenómenos sobrenaturales se dan la mano en un baile de seducción, muerte y renacimiento."

  • "At the center of Anne Rice's new novel is the beautiful, unconquerable Merrick, a child--a witch with the power and magical knowledge of a Medea and a Circe. She is a Mayfair of New Orleans, descendent of a family rich in its French and Spanish past, steeped in the age-old tradition of voodoo. Into this strange and exotic world comes David Talbot, hero, storyteller, adventurer, almost-mortal vampire, a visitor from another realm of the dark world. In her mesmerizing new novel, the author of the Vampire Chronicles & the saga of the Mayfair witches demonstrates, once again, her gift for spellbinding storytelling & the creation of myth & magic. Now, in a magnificent tale of sorcery & the occult, she makes real for us a hitherto unexplored world of witchcraft. At the center is the beautiful, unconquerable witch, Merrick. She is a descendant of the gens de couleurs libres, a caste derived from the black mistresses of white men, a society of New Orleans octaroons & quadroons, steeped in the lore & ceremony of voodoo, who reign in the shadowy world where the African & the French--the white & the dark--intermingle. Her ancestors are the Great Mayfair witches, of whom she knows nothing--and from whom she inherits the power & 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 past & present to the jungles of Guatemala, from the Mayan ruins of a century ago to ancient civilizations not yet explored. Anne Rice's richly told novel weaves an irresistible story of two worlds: the witches' world & the vampires' world, where magical powers & otherworldly fascinations are locked together in a dance of seduction, death, & rebirth."@en
