When done well, as it is here, this sort of fiction provides characters who are recognizably human in their desires and actions even if most of them are creatures with supernatural powers. But this world also is recognizably ours, not a wholly made-up setting like George R.R. Witches, vampires, and daemons exist, along with time travel. “This trilogy is a superlative example in a subgenre you could call realistic fantasy-think Harry Potter but for grown-ups or Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr. She is terrific at bringing her magic world to life, maintaining a fast-paced, page-turning narrative.”-The Boston Globe From the novel’s poignant opening, Harkness casts her own indelible spell of enchantment, heartbreak, and resilience. “The charm in Deborah Harkness’s wildly successful All Souls trilogy lies not merely in the spells that its creature characters cast as they lurk pretty much in plain sight of humans, but in the adroit way Harkness has insinuated her world of demons, witches, and vampires into ours. “The epic and erudite vampire-witch romance comes to a thoroughly satisfying conclusion in the action-packed All Souls trilogy ender.”

“Weaving an extraordinarily rich story of magic and science, history and fiction, passion and power, secrets and truths, Harkness delivers an unforgettable and spellbinding finale that's not to be missed.” In palatial homes and university laboratories, using ancient knowledge and modern science, from the hills of the Auvergne to Venice and beyond, the couple at last learn what the witches discovered so many centuries ago. In the third volume of the All Souls series, Harkness deepens her themes of power and passion, family and caring, past deeds and their present consequences. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on even more urgency. At Matthew's ancestral home, Sept-Tours, they reunite with the beloved cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches-with one significant exception.

In The Book of Life Diana and Matthew time-travel back from Elizabethan London to make a dramatic return to the present-facing new crises and old enemies. The #1 New York Times-bestselling third installment of the All Souls series, and the basis for the final season of 'A Discovery of Witches,' coming soon to AMC+, Sundance Now, and Shudder.
