Deborah Harkness
The #1 New York Times bestselling second installment in the All Souls series, from the author of The Discovery of Witches and The Black Bird Oracle.Look for the hit series “A Discovery of Witches,” now streaming on AMC+, Sundance Now, and Shudder!Picking up from A Discovery of Witches’ cliffhanger ending, Shadow of Night takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont 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—the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit—deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them. Together they find they must embark on a very different—and vastly more dangerous—journey. “A captivating and romantic ripping yarn,”* Shadow of Night confirms Deborah Harkness as a master storyteller, able to cast an “addictive tale of magic, mayhem and two lovers”(Chicago Tribune).

"I love this story but it is soooo wordy sometimes and has no business being over 600 pages "

"This second book was so hard to get through. I only made it half way…. I gave up for now. The characters are just so unlikable for me personally and they make decisions that are just crazy for their age. The relationship timeline is also bonkers fast but the pace of this book is slow. I may give it another shot. I just didn’t want this to throw me out of my reading kick. "

"There aren't enough words for me to accurately describe my adoration for this book, but I'll try for the fun of it. The author seamlessly integrates history with drama, and as an avid fan of the Tudors (the actual people, though the show is enjoyable) I couldn't have been a bigger fan of the setting of this remarkable novel. If the first installment of this series has shades of Twilight and Harry Potter, this one's all Outlander meets The Other Boleyn Girl, thought I stand by the Romeo and Juliet vibes in deference to Shakespeare, since it is his domain after all. It is both with excitement and dread that I look forward to the last book in what is fast becoming my favorite trilogy."

"This book does start a little slow however, for all you fantasy lovers out there this is just the 1st book to a VERY good series. Get through this one and it will be worth it! "

"Here’s another brutally honest review. I loved this book and I loved this series. I relate to the characters heavily and it was enough to make me get emotional when certain things happened in the book. Deborah does a wonderful job and what really impressed me is her attention to detail. Everything was historically accurate and you can tell she’s done her research. Absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to read the 3rd book!"
