Book one of the New York Times-bestselling All Souls trilogy-‘a wonderfully imaginative grown-up illusion with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight” (People).

Now “[a] warm present that’s like Twilight matches Outlander” (Thrillist) airing Sundays on AMC and BBC America, aswell as streaming on Sundance Today and Shudder.

Deborah Harkness’s gleaming debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized supporters around the world. In this story of interest and obsession, Diana Bishop, a 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 main character, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

Harkness has generated a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she provides a scholar’s depth to the riveting story of magic and suspense. The storyplot continues in book two, Darkness of Night, and concludes using the Book of Lifestyle.
