Book Description

Publisher's Summary
A richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound
witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together.
Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana
Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the
course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line
of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive
glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her
discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons,
witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. Diana has stumbled
upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries - and she is the only creature
who can break its spell.
Debut novelist Deborah Harkness has crafted a mesmerizing and addictive
read, equal parts history and magic, romance and suspense. Diana is
a bold heroine who meets her equal in vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont,
and gradually warms up to him as their alliance deepens into an intimacy
that violates age-old taboos. This smart, sophisticated story harks
back to the novels of Anne Rice, but it is as contemporary and sensual
as the Twilight series - with an extra serving of historical realism.-
