In
the third chronicle of the Mayfair Witches, the Talamasca
seek to preserve the nearly extinct Taltos race by bringing
together a male and female. Their searching catches the attention
of an ancient Taltos named Ashlar entwined with Lasher's identity.
Ashlar
reveals the Taltos mythology and lineage, and enlists the
help of Michael and Rowan in his battle against evil. Ashlar
longs to make right the sufferings of his people. To help
Ashlar, Michael must keep his coupling with Mona Mayfair (a
precocious teenager who loves sex and computers equally) a
secret, for it has produced a new female Taltos.
Rowan
attempts to assist him, but the task is difficult given that
Morrigan, the Taltos, has been named the heir to the Mayfair
fortune. Morrigan becomes the new monster of the Mayfair family.
Interesting
fact: When Ashlar recounts his history, he details the persecution
of the Taltos by the Celts, and the necessity of the Taltos
taking cover as a tribe of humans called the Picts. The Picts
were an actual tribe in Britain. Anne was intrigued by them
because they had ruled Scotland for centuries and then had
disappeared, leaving only some strange artefacts to prove
they ever existed.
