Overview

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).

Look for the hit TV series "A Discovery of Witches" airing Sundays on AMC and BBC America, and streaming on Sundance Now and Shudder.

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.

  • A Fitting Sequel

    Bronwyn M. - 3 years 6 months ago

    I'm just recently getting around to reading these. I finished A Discovery of Witches and immediately launched into the sequel, Shadow of Night. While enjoyable, for much of the book it seems as though the plot isn't really moving forward. Everything seems to progress towards the end, and I tend to find that frustrating. However, I really like the main characters, and the supporting cast of real and imagined historical figures is delightful. The furthering of the main characters' relationship is touching, and the little touches Harkness places throughout make this a worthwhile read.

  • The second book of an extraordinary supernatural fiction series

    Carol P. - 3 years 11 months ago

    Shadow of Night is the second book of the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. It takes the reader on a journey through time and space to Elizabethan London, where Diana must learn to navigate both her magic and the change that comes over Matthew when he is among his old crew of noble and ne'er-do-well friends. This is my favorite book in the series because of the rich history and detail that immerses the reader in a new time and place inspired by history and embellished by magic.

  • Magical time travel to sixteenth century England.

    Susan S. - 7 years 4 months ago

    Diana and Matthew's search for the lost manuscript creates an opportunity for time traveling. In this second book of the trilogy, they visit sixteenth century England and run into many historical figures. They learn much more about The Book of Life and Diana's witchy abilities. By the time this book ended, I could hardly wait to get to Book 3!
