  • ""A wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight." -People In a sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches became the "it" book of early 2011, bringing Deborah Harkness into the spotlight and galvanizing fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and the descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting story of magic and suspense. And the story continues in Book Two, Shadow of Night."@en

  • "Diana Bishop est la dernière d'une longue et puissante lignée de sorcières. Mais entre son doctorat et les recherches universitaires, elle a depuis longtemps renoncé à son héritage familial, aspirant à une vie simple et ordinaire.

  • "En el corazon de la Biblioteca Bodleiana de Oxford, la apasionada historiadora Diana Bishop se topa en medio de sus investigaciones con el manuscrito identificado como Ashmole 782. Descendiente de un antiguo linaje de brujas, Diana intuye que el manuscrito está relacionado de alguna manera con la magia, pero no quiere tener nada que ver con la brujería. Y después de tomar algunas notas sobre sus curiosos dibujos, lo devuelve sin perder más tiempo a las estanterías. Lo que Diana no sabe es que se trata de un manuscrito alquímico que ha estado perdido durante siglos y cuyo descubrimiento ha desencadenado que hordas de daimones, vampiros y brujas salgan a la luz de las salas de lectura de la Biblioteca. Una de esas criaturas es Matthew Clairmont, un enigmático genetista, amante del buen vino y vampiro milenario, cuya alianza con Diana se hará progresivamente más íntima y poco a poco surgirá entre ambos una relación que hará tambalear los tabúes asentados desde hace tiempo en un mundo secreto y encantado."
  • "When historian Diana Bishop opens an alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, it's an unwelcome intrusion of magic into her carefully ordered life. Though Diana is a witch of impeccable lineage, the violent death of her parents while she was still a child convinced her that human fear is more potent than any witchcraft. Now Diana has unwittingly exposed herself to a world she's kept at bay for years; one of powerful witches, creative, destructive daemons and long-lived vampires. Sensing the significance of Diana's discovery, the creatures gather in Oxford, among them the enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, a vampire genticist."
