Look for the hit series “A Discovery of Witches,” now streaming on AMC+, Sundance Now, and Shudder!
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, book three, The Book of Life, and the fourth in the series, Time’s Convert.

“Loved this book and immediately started the second! Totally not what I expected — and in a good way. The Twilight-esque vibes made me chuckle. The romance is fun. The magical elements are fascinating and fun. It’s such an easy and interesting read! I constantly wanted to know what was going to happen next. I’m refraining from watching the tv show until I finish the third book. This is a world and story I know I’ll be sad to leave behind in the books.”Reviewed in:Witchy Reads Coven

“LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. Thought I may have regretted reading this after watching the show awhile ago, but it was beautiful and addicting and very vivid. Matthew is a dreamboat and I am so excited to see Diana develop her power. I am speeding to picking up book 2!”Diverse charactersBeautifully writtenMagical setting
