The Mayfairs are a wealthy family in New Orleans, rumored to have been helped in acquiring their riches by a mysterious,
powerful being called Lasher. The women are gifted with the power of witchcraft, and each becomes Lasher’s own - possessed and impregnated with the aim of producing the most powerful witch capable of giving birth to his body. Latest in the long line of Mayfair daughters is Rowan, a neuro-surgeon with healing and destructive powers. She falls in love with Michael whom she saves from the sea. Rowan returns to New Orleans to attend the burial of her mother, and to confront the being whom she believed she could defeat with her powers. She learns of the history of the Mayfair
witches through Aaron, member of the Talamasca, an ancient society of paranormal observers who have been keeping track of developments among the Mayfairs in New Orleans. Lasher conquers
Rowan and impregnates her. They disappear, opening the way for a sequel.
