xNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the beloved author of the Vampire Chronicles, the first installation of her spellbinding Mayfair Chronicles--the inspiration for the hit television series!
"Extraordinary . . . Anne Rice offers more than just a story; she creates myth."--The Washington Post Book World Rowan Mayfair, a beautiful woman, a brilliant practitioner of neurosurgery--aware that she has special powers but unaware that she comes from an ancient line of witches--finds the drowned body of a man off the coast of California and brings him to life. He is Michael Curry, who was born in New Orleans and orphaned in childhood by fire on Christmas Eve, who pulled himself up from poverty, and who now, in his brief interval of death, has acquired a sensory power that mystifies and frightens him. As these two, fiercely drawn to each other, fall in love and--in passionate alliance--set out to solve the mystery of her past and his unwelcome gift, an intricate tale of evil unfolds. Moving through time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and a ch穰eau in the Louis XIV's France, and from the coffee plantations of Port au Prince, where the great Mayfair fortune is made and the legacy of their dark power is almost destroyed, to Civil War New Orleans, The Witching Hour is a luminous, deeply enchanting novel.
The magic of the Mayfairs continues:
