Description
Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, opens an alchemical manuscript in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, one of powerful witches, creative daemons, and long-lived vampires. Among them is the enigmatic vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Drawn to him, Diana ties herself to him in a shadowy world of half-truths and old enmities, crossing ancient lines. As they begin to unlock the manuscript's secrets and their feelings deepen, the fragile balance of peace unravels.
