A Discovery of Witches: A Novel (All Souls Trilogy, Book 1)

Book One of the New York Times–Bestselling All Souls Series
Now a hit Netflix series, “A Discovery of Witches”

In Deborah Harkness’s enchanting debut, A Discovery of Witches, historian and reluctant witch Diana Bishop uncovers a long-lost alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, in Oxford’s Bodleian Library. Its discovery awakens a hidden world of witches, vampires, and daemons—and draws her into an unexpected alliance, and romance, with vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

Blending history, science, and magic, Harkness crafts a rich, spellbinding tale of passion, power, and discovery that continues in Shadow of Night, The Book of Life, and Time’s Convert.
