    Wanneer historicus Diana Bishop in de Bodleian-bibliotheek in Oxford per toeval een betoverd alchemistisch manuscript opent, dringt er ongewild magie binnen in haar zorgvuldig alledaags gehouden leven. Hoewel ze van een oud heksengeslacht afstamt, wil ze met die familie-erfenis absoluut niets te maken hebben. Maar Diana merkt dat ze de wereld van magie niet meer op afstand kan houden. Verschillende wezens geloven dat het manuscript belangrijke aanwijzingen bevat over verleden en toekomst, en ze willen weten hoe Diana haar hand heeft weten te leggen op het ongrijpbare boekwerk. Onder hen is de vampier Matthew Clairmont, een geneticus met een passie voor Darwin. Diana en Matthew beginnen samen aan een zoektocht om de geheimen van het manuscript te ontrafelen. Maar de relatie die zich tussen de eeuwenoude vampier en de ontwakende heks ontwikkelt, dreigt te knagen aan de fragiele vrede die al zo lang tussen bovennatuurlijke wezens en mensen bestaat, en zet ook Diana's wereld op zijn kop.

    "On the battlefields of the American Revolution, Matthew de Clermont meets Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts, during a moment of political awakening when it seems that the world is on the brink of a brighter future. When Matthew offers him a chance at immortality and a new life, free from the restraints of his puritanical upbringing, Marcus seizes the opportunity to become a vampire. But his transformation is not an easy one and the ancient traditions and responsibilities of the de Clermont family clash with Marcus's deeply-held beliefs in liberty, equality, and brotherhood. Fast forward to contemporary London, where Marcus has fallen for Phoebe Taylor, a young employee at Sotheby's. She decides to become a vampire, too, and though the process at first seems uncomplicated, the couple discovers that the challenges facing a human who wishes to be a vampire are no less formidable in the modern world than they were in the 18th century. The shadows that Marcus believed he'd escaped centuries ago may return to haunt them both--forever."-- Provided by publisher

  5. Diana Bishop embarks on a profound journey into her own darkness and family history in the fifth novel of the beloved All Souls series. Introduced as an Oxford scholar and witch alongside vampire geneticist Matthew de Clairmont, Diana's story began with their love amidst the quest for the enchanted manuscript Ashmole 782. Since then, they have explored Elizabethan England, dismantled the Covenant between their species, and awakened dark powers within Diana's lineage. Now, faced with a formal demand from the Congregation to test the magic of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Rebecca, Diana is determined to protect them from the fate that befell her parents. To forge a different future for her family, she responds to a message from her long-lost great-aunt, Gwyneth Proctor, inviting her home. At Ravenswood, the Proctor family estate, Diana begins a new chapter under Gwyneth's guidance, a skilled witch in higher magic. This marks the start of a confrontation with her family's shadowy past and a reckoning with her own desire for greater power—if she can finally overcome her fear of embracing it.
