{"product_id":"merrick-by-anne-rice","title":"Merrick by Anne Rice - USED","description":"At the center is the beautiful, unconquerable witch, Merrick. She is a descendant of the gens de colors libres, a cast derived from the black mistresses of white men, a society of New Orleans octaroons and quadroons, steeped in the lore and ceremony of voodoo, who reign in the shadowy world where the African and the French--the white and the dark--intermingle. Her ancestors are the Great Mayfair Witches, of whom she knows nothing--and from whom she inherits the power and magical knowledge of a Circe. Into this exotic New Orleans realm comes David Talbot, hero, storyteller, adventurer, almost mortal vampire, visitor from another dark realm. It is he who recounts Merrick's haunting tale--a tale that takes us from the New Orleans of the past and present to the jungles of Guatemala, from the Mayan ruins of a century ago to ancient civilizations not yet explored.\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780701167189\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chatto \u0026 Windus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43230870306879,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/17401663482437.jpg?v=1778197698","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/merrick-by-anne-rice","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
