Book #3 in the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series.

The Mayfair Witches face an unimaginable new threat: the Taltos - the giant race gifted with preternatural knowledge, who breed in minutes and live for centuries. The race that spawned the monster Lasher, who gave the witches their power and almost destroyed them.

Unknown to the Mayfairs, another Taltos still lives: the legendary Ashlar, who has done and suffered so much down the centuries.

Now a frantic dance takes them all from the dawn of history and the Dark Ages to high-tech New York, from sensuous New Orleans to Stonehenge and the Scottish Highlands, towards their ultimate fate...
