Fall deeper under the spell of Diana and Matthew in the captivating second volume of the No.1 internationally bestselling All Souls series, following A Discovery of Witches.

In a world where witches, daemons, and vampires coexist in a fragile peace, the balance is rapidly unravelling. The forbidden love between historian Diana Bishop and vampire Matthew Clairmont has broken the laws dividing their species, sparking a struggle that threatens their very survival. To find the manuscript that holds their hope for the future, they must now travel back to the past.

Seeking safety and answers, Diana and Matthew journey through time to the dark, bustling streets of London in 1590. However, they soon realize that the Elizabethan era is no haven. Reclaiming his former identity as a poet and spy for Queen Elizabeth, Matthew falls back in with a group of radicals known as the School of Night. This circle is populated by unruly daemons and the most creative minds of the age, including the playwright Christopher Marlowe and mathematician Thomas Harriot.

While navigating the dangers of the Tudor court, Matthew and Diana scour London for the elusive manuscript Ashmole 782. Amidst the political intrigue and religious tension, Diana must also find a tutor—a witch who can finally teach her how to understand and control her remarkable, untapped powers.
