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")
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,"
coming from Viking in July 2014.
