   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.

   The #1 New York Times bestselling second installment in the All Souls series, from the author of The Discovery of Witches and The Black Bird Oracle. Look for the hit series “A Discovery of Witches,” now streaming on AMC+, Sundance Now, and Shudder! Picking up from A Discovery of Witches’ cliffhanger ending, Shadow of Night takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782—the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit—deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them. Together they find they must embark on a very different—and vastly more dangerous—journey. “A captivating and romantic ripping yarn,”* Shadow of Night confirms Deborah Harkness as a master storyteller, able to cast an “addictive tale of magic, mayhem and two lovers”(Chicago Tribune).

   • Deborah E. Harkness

   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 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 Paris, where Phoebe Taylor, the young employee at Sotheby's whom Marcus has fallen for, is about to embark on her own journey to immortality. Though the modernised version of 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 than they were in the eighteenth century.

   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.
