About this product

Product Information

It began with A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES. Historian Diana Bishop, descended from a line of powerful witches, and long-lived vampire Matthew Clairmont have broken the laws dividing creatures. When Diana discovered a significant alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, she sparked a struggle in which she became bound to Matthew. Now the fragile coexistence of witches, daemons, vampires and humans is dangerously threatened. Seeking safety, Diana and Matthew travel back in time to London, 1590. But they soon realise that the past may not provide a haven. Reclaiming his former identity as poet and spy for Queen Elizabeth, the vampire falls back in with a group of radicals known as the School of Night. Many are unruly daemons, the creative minds of the age, including playwright Christopher Marlowe and mathematician Thomas Harriot. Together Matthew and Diana scour Tudor London for the elusive manuscript Ashmole 782, and search for the witch who will teach Diana how to control her remarkable powers...

Fabulous Trilogy
This is the second of three books all are compelling. The whole trilogy is fabulous. If you don't have sky to watch the Discovery of Witches, buy the three books. Best read for ages, very hard to put down.

Good price but do not purchase as a gift
The item is as described, and it is my fault for assuming a certain degree of quality but the book is pretty badly damaged. There are water marks all over the first 20 or so pages, a considerable tear to the front cover and other more common general wear and tear. It's fine for myself but if this was a gift I would be sorely disappointed.

Amazing!!
I was gripped by discovery of witches but the shadow of night was perfect for uncovering the secrets of Matthew.. I got a better understanding on why the love is so forbidden. I loved it!
