À propos de cet audio

Book one of the New York Times best-selling All Souls Series—"a wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight” (People).

Now “[a] hot show that’s like Twilight meets Outlander” (Thrillist) airing on AMC and BBC America, as well as streaming on 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.

Just what I needed - a nice light easy listen. Narrator was great, pacing was good, and I enjoyed the characters and story. In the vein of Twilight, but with a stronger female lead!

Light, easy listening.

I did see the TV movie before reading/listening to this book. The difference is you have more of a back fill in the movie on certain characters. The book focuses on the two main characters - one primarily and her story. The novel is well done. Interesting characters. I will read listen to the next novels as my interest is peaked.

Great Witches and Vampire novel!!!

There was not a moment I felt bored with this book. It had a lot of interesting elements and though at times I was annoyed by both protagonists the character development was organic and didn’t feel forced. On to reading the next sequel.

Enticing and entertaining
