Alone with The Witching Hour and Taltos, Lasher forms a triad of novels called the Lives of the Mayfair Witches. Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven must flee from Lasher, the demon that Rowan finds irresistible.

Descripción:
Libreria De Los Sucesores De Hernando. Madrid. 1913. Very good brown patterned leather with gilt bands and red/green fields on spine. Paper is yellowed with age but without foxing. First flyleaf and both paste-downs wrinkled. Second flyleaf has 1 in. cut showing paper loss on upper right of page. Binding is tight and square. Tacitus (also known as Gaius Cornelius Tacitus) was a Roman orator and public official. Annals was his account of the Roman Empire written in AD 14 to 68. The work contained 16 - 18 books but only books 1 - 4, part of book 5, most of book 6 and books 11 - 16, incomplete, are extant. The forward credits the translation by Coloma with making the edition have less "dryness" when compared to the original work which was written in Latin. I suspect that is true. This version is written in Spanish, but again, apparently not too dry. He was born AD 56 and died c. 120. 4.75x7 in. 341 pg. with index.
