Taltos is the 1994 gothic fantasy novel by Anne Rice and the final book in her bestselling Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy. Stepping away from the traditional haunted atmosphere of New Orleans, this book dives deep into ancient history, mythology, and the tragic origin of the supernatural species introduced in Lasher.

The Mayfair Witches are in danger.

There is a new, unimaginable threat to the family – the Taltos, a species gifted with preternatural knowledge who created Lasher, the being who gave the witches their power and almost destroyed them.

Unknown to the Mayfairs, another Taltos still lives. And Rowan is still tied to the grief of the past, unable to move on.

But as the witching hour comes to an end, Rowan must find the courage once again to face her past and, together with Michael, confront the legacy of the Mayfair Witches head on.

The third hypnotic book in her epic story of the Mayfair witches, following The Witching Hour and Lasher.
