Overview
Step into a hidden world of witches, daemons, and vampires with the All Souls Trilogy Collection by #1 New York Times bestselling author Deborah Harkness. This three-book paperback set follows historian Diana Bishop and centuries-old vampire scientist Matthew Clairmont as a forbidden manuscript pulls them into ancient secrets, dangerous factions, and a love that defies every rule of their world. Blending historical detail with sweeping fantasy and romance, this collection has captivated millions of readers worldwide. Perfect for fans of atmospheric, character-driven sagas, it delivers a complete arc from Oxford's Bodleian Library to Elizabethan London and beyond.
About the Books
The All Souls Trilogy begins with A Discovery of Witches, in which reluctant witch and Oxford historian Diana Bishop unwittingly summons a bewitched alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, drawing the attention of vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont and igniting a forbidden romance that threatens the fragile peace between witches, daemons, and vampires. In Shadow of Night, Diana and Matthew travel back in time to Elizabethan England, navigating the court intrigues, alchemical laboratories, and hidden dangers of the 1590s while racing to uncover the manuscript's origins and secure the future they've fought to protect. The trilogy concludes with The Book of Life, as the couple returns to the present day to face fresh crises, long-buried family secrets, and a final reckoning that will determine the fate of their unborn child and the uneasy truce among supernatural creatures. Across all three novels, Harkness draws on her own background as a history professor to weave together alchemy, genetics, and centuries of folklore into a richly textured world. The result is a genre-blending saga that moves fluidly between scholarly detail and heart-racing suspense, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the price of forbidden love. Readers who enjoy immersive world-building, slow-burn romance, and stories that reward close attention will find this trilogy a deeply rewarding, continuous journey rather than three separate reads. This paperback collection brings all three novels together in one convenient set, ideal for binge-reading the complete saga from start to finish.
