Book one of the New York Times-bestselling All Souls trilogy--"a
wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry
Potter and Twilight" (People).
**
All three seasons of the hit TV series "A Discovery of Witches" are
streaming now on AMC+, Sundance Now and Shudder.**
Deborah Harkness's sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has
brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In
this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a
descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical
manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its
reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with
her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.
Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana
Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this
riveting tale of magic and suspense. The story continues in book two,
Shadow of Night, and concludes with The Book of Life.
