  • "Die grösste Liebesgeschichte seit Romeo und Julia Ihre Liebe ist stärker als jede Regel, stärker als die Zeit und das Leben selbst. Doch als Diana und Matthew im elisabethanischen London angekommen sind, werden sie auf eine harte Probe gestellt. In einer Welt der Spione und der Täuschung muss Diana einen Tutor finden, der sie in der fortgeschrittenen Hexenkunst unterweist, während Matthew unfreiwillig mit seiner Vergangenheit konfrontiert wird. Und welche Rolle spielt der enge Kreis von Matthews Freunden, die einst die geheimnisvolle "Schule der Nacht" gründeten und ihre gemeinsame Zukunft bedrohen? Nach ihrem grossen Erfolg 'Die Seelen der Nacht' ist 'Wo die Nacht beginnt' Deborah Harkness' zweiter Roman. Deborah Harkness ist Professorin für europäische Geschichte an der University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Für ihre wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten erhielt sie bereits mehrfach Stipendien und Auszeichnungen. Sie schreibt ausserdem ein preisgekröntes Wein-Blog (goodwineunder20.blogspot.com). Nach ihrem grossen Erfolg Die Seelen der Nacht ist Wo die Nacht beginnt Deborah Harkness' zweiter Roman."

  • ""Una vez asumida su condición de bruja con poderes para viajar en el tiempo, la historiadora Diana Bishop esta preparada para emprender un viaje al pasado en el que poder encontrar el Ashmole 782 completo, un manuscrito secreto cuyos poderes debe comprender para evitar el fin de la pacífica convivencia entre brujas, vampiros, daimones y humanos. Su marido, el genetista Matthew Clairmont, la acompañará en esa búsqueda, pero viajar al pasado no es tan sencillo para un vampiro, y mucho menos a un pasado que ya vivió, donde su "yo" anterior desempeñó un relevante papel en la lucha política de la época; un "yo" que odiaba a las brujas como Diana. Rodeados de intrigas y en una incesante carrera por encontrar el Ashmole 782, Diana y Matthew se adentrarán en el Londres isabelino acompañados de los amigos del Matthew del pasado--los miembros de la Escuela de la Noche, entre los que se encuentran Christopher Marlowe y Sir Walter Raleigh--e incluso de Shakespeare. Pero también deberán refugiarse en un castillo de la campiña francesa y pasar unos meses en la corte del emperador Rodolfo II en Praga para lograr su objetivo y proteger su secreto, mientras Diana aprende a controlar la magia con una poderosa bruja."--Book jacket."

  • "It began with A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES. Historian Diana Bishop, descended from a line of powerful witches, and long-lived vampire Matthew Clairmont have broken the laws dividing creatures. When Diana discovered a significant alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, she sparked a struggle in which she became bound to Matthew. Now the fragile coexistence of witches, daemons, vampires and humans is dangerously threatened. Seeking safety, Diana and Matthew travel back in time to London, 1590.

Together Matthew and Diana scour Tudor London for the elusive manuscript Ashmole 782, and search for the witch who will teach Diana how to control her remarkable powers...Fall under the spell of Diana and Matthew once more in this stunning, richly imagined, epic tale."@en

  • "Harkness's much-anticipated sequel, Shadow of Night, picks up from A Discovery of Witches' cliffhanger ending. Reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont time-travel to Elizabethan London and are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night. As the search for the lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782 deepens and Diana searches for a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them, and they embark on a very different--and vastly more dangerous--journey."@en
