The lovingly awaited sequel to A Discovery of Witches.
Beginning where Discovery left off, Matthew and Diana have traveled back in time to Oxford in 1591, in search of a witch powerful enough to teach Diana how to use her magic. But they find themselves caught up in the intrigue that Matthew lived through as a member of the Shadow of Night, a group of academics whose lives will eventually make history, including Christopher Marlowe and Sir Walter Raleigh. The mystery deepens!
Matthew kept his eyes on the young man, his face expressionless as he drew our intertwined fingers to his mouth. “Diana, this is my dear friend Christopher Marlowe.”
Matthew’s introduction provided Marlowe with an opportunity to inspect me more openly. His attention crawled from my toes to the top of my head. The young man’s scorn was evident, his jealousy better hidden. Marlowe was indeed in love with my husband…
Ah, witches, vampires, and romance. It’s going to be a great fall!
