Product Information
When historian Diana Bishop opens an alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, it's an unwelcome intrusion of magic into her carefully ordered life. Though Diana is a witch of impeccable lineage, the violent death of her parents while she was still a child convinced her that human fear is more potent than any witchcraft. Now Diana has unwittingly exposed herself to a world she's kept at bay for years; one of powerful witches, creative, destructive daemons and long-lived vampires. Sensing the significance of Diana's discovery, the creatures gather in Oxford, among them the enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, a vampire geneticist. Diana is inexplicably drawn to Matthew and, in a shadowy world of half-truths and old enmities, ties herself to him without fully understanding the ancient line they are crossing. As they begin to unlock the secrets of the manuscript and their feelings for each other deepen, so the fragile balance of peace unravels...Product Identifiers

Super and Gripping Read to the Enc
This is a book I think that you need to set aside time to read - not only because the chapters are long.... it is not easy to decide to read to the next chapter but also it is written by an academic and therefore the story is intricately woven and written. The story centers around a witch who has repressed her magic and a very old vampires. I think the characters are written around the old misconception that women are weak and the men are the protectors which I hope is diluted in the second book where Diana (the witch) develops a stronger character and isn't so "on dear me I feel faint". Bearing that in mind the story is fantastic and I bought book 2 and 3.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not what I expected.
I bought this book thinking it would be about 17th century witches and was very disappointed with the book. The book became too heavy for my reading topic so Ive passed the book on. Im sure its a very good read for many others but not for me.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Discovery of witches
Watched the 1st series on TV and was hooked. Bought the book, it's a big book with small print but don't be put off it's brilliant. The attention to detail is great, filling in so much more than the television series. You can't wait to read more. Highly recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Dark, mystical, intriguing.
The series is fantastic so I had to buy the book to fill in the gaps left out by the screen adaptation. In fact, it's so good, I bought all 3 books to keep me going until the next season is brought to our screens. The best love story in a long time, along with a multitude of wonderful historical facts I would never have known about until now. Highly recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
