Rowan Mayfair is special.

A beautiful woman and a brilliant practitioner of neurosurgery, she also has special powers but is unaware that she comes from an ancient line of witches.

One day, Rowan 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 set out to solve the mystery of her past and his unwelcome gift, an intricate tale of evil unfolds.

And the witching hour begins.

A hypnotic novel of witchcraft and the occult across four centuries, by the spellbinding, bestselling author of The Vampire Chronicles.
