  A Discovery of Witches: A Novel (Unabridged)

  Deborah Harkness 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.

  Shadow of Night (Unabridged)

  Deborah Harkness The #1 New York Times–bestselling sequel to A Discovery of Witches, book two of the All Souls Trilogy—“as enchanting, engrossing, and impossible to put down as its predecessor” (Miami Herald)
  
  J. K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Anne Rice—only a few writers capture the imagination the way that Deborah Harkness has with her New York Times–bestselling All Souls trilogy. A Discovery of Witches introduces reluctant witch Diana Bishop, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont, and the battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782.
  
  Picking up from A Discovery of Witches’ cliffhanger ending, Shadow of Night takes Diana and Matthew on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew’s old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782 deepens and Diana seeks out 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.

  Time's Convert: A Novel (Unabridged)

  Deborah Harkness From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches, a novel about what it takes to become a vampire. 
  
  On the battlefields of the American Revolution, Matthew de Clermont meets Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts, during a moment of political awakening when it seems that the world is on the brink of a brighter future. When Matthew offers him a chance at immortality and a new life free from the restraints of his puritanical upbringing, Marcus seizes the opportunity to become a vampire. But his transformation is not an easy one and the ancient traditions and responsibilities of the de Clermont family clash with Marcus's deeply held beliefs in liberty, equality, and brotherhood.
  
  Fast-forward to contemporary Paris, where Phoebe Taylor--the young employee at Sotheby's whom Marcus has fallen for--is about to embark on her own journey to immortality. Though the modernized version of the process at first seems uncomplicated, the couple discovers that the challenges facing a human who wishes to be a vampire are no less formidable than they were in the eighteenth century. The shadows that Marcus believed he'd escaped centuries ago may return to haunt them both--forever.
  
  A passionate love story and a fascinating exploration of the power of tradition and the possibilities not just for change but for revolution, Time's Convert channels the supernatural world-building and slow-burning romance that made the All Souls Trilogy instant bestsellers to illuminate a new and vital moment in history, and a love affair that will bridge centuries.

  Hvad hun ikke ved er, at den gamle alkymistiske tekst Ashmole 782 har været forsvundet i århundreder og tiltrækker sig opmærksomhed fra andre væsner. Deriblandt vampyren Matthew Clairmont, som forsker i genetik.Meget imod sin vilje bliver Diana tiltrukket af Matthew, men et forhold mellem en heks og en vampyr er ikke problemfrit - især ikke da deres forhold strider mod en gammel pagt, som skal sikre ro og afstand mellem arterne og undgå at tiltrække sig opmærksomhed fra menneskerene.
  
  I takt med at Dianas magiske evner vokser, står det klart, at nogen vil hende til livs, og sammen med Matthew forsøger hun at finde ud af, hvad manuskriptet indeholder af hemmeligheder om arternes fortid og mere interessant; deres fremtid. Og det skal vise sig at blive noget af en rejse - både i tid og sted.
