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.
