Présentation de l'éditeur
Anne Rice brings us once again -- even more magically -- into the midst of the dynasty of witches she introduced in The Witching Hour.
At the center: the brilliant and beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, and Lasher, the darkly compelling demon whom she finds irresistible and from whose evil spell and vision she must now flee. She takes with her their terrifying and exquisite child, one of "a brood of children born knowing, able to stand and talk on the first day." Rowan's attempt to escape Lasher and his pursuit of her and their child are at the heart of this extraordinary saga. It is a novel that moves around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds. With a dreamlike power, the novel draws us through twilight paths, telling a chillingly hypnotic story of occult and spiritual aspirations and passion.
Joe Morton has appeared in the films Of Mice and Men, Forever Young and Terminator 2, and starred in Brother from Another Planet. On television, he appeared in "Equal Justice" and starred in producer Robert De Niro's anthology series "Tribeca."
Revue de presse
"Behind all the velvet drapes and gossamer winding sheets, this is an old-fashioned family saga - Rice's descriptive writing is so opulent it almost begs to be read by candlelight" (Washington Post Book World)
"The sequel and conclusion to Rice's The Witching Hour shows Rice at her best ... The novel lights up with rocket blast" (Kirkus Reviews)
"Erotic ... Eerie ... Horrifying ... A tight tale of the occult in present-day New Orleans" (Denver Post)
