Description

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah E. Harkness is a richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire and a spellbound witch who become entangled in a mysterious manuscript. In the Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly uncovers a bewitched alchemical manuscript, drawing a fantastical underworld into her world. As she delves deeper into the manuscript's secrets, Diana must navigate a treacherous landscape of daemons, witches, and vampires. Diana's discovery sets in motion a chain of events that puts her at the centre of a centuries-old mystery. With the help of vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont, she must unravel the secrets of the manuscript and break its spell before it's too late. As their alliance deepens, Diana and Matthew must confront the taboos of their respective worlds and the dangers that come with their growing intimacy. Deborah Harkness's debut novel is a mesmerizing blend of history, magic, romance, and suspense, drawing inspiration from the novels of Anne Rice and the Twilight series. With its unique blend of historical realism and supernatural intrigue, A Discovery of Witches is a captivating read that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
