Summary

From the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches, now a major Sky TV series, a novel about what it takes to become a vampire.

From human to vampire ...

Marcus Whitmore was made a vampire in the eighteenth century. Over two hundred years later, he finds himself in love with Phoebe Taylor, a human who decides to become a vampire herself.

But her transformation will prove as challenging now as it was for Marcus when he first encountered Matthew de Clermont, his sire.

While Phoebe is secreted away, Marcus relives his own journey from the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, through the treachery of the French Revolution to a bloody finale in New Orleans. His belief in liberty, equality and brotherhood challenged at every stage by the patriarchy of the de Clermonts.

What will he and Phoebe discover in one another when they are finally reunited at Les Revenants, beneath the watchful gaze of Matthew and his wife, Diana Bishop?

Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Deborah Harkness returns to the spellbinding world she created in A Discovery of Witches and, through the prism of an unconventional love story, explores the power of tradition and the endless possibilities for change.

Critic reviews

What a rich, thrilling and educational tale it is... A captivating and romantic ripping yarn (E L James)
This is a glorious, finely-wrought gem of a book: intelligent, thoughtful, intricate... I could lose myself in here and never want to come out: what better accolade can there be? ...Utterly enchanting on every level (Manda Scott)

Agree with other comments

Story is good, however if the narrator is going to change between books it’s very disappointing. All the characters have changed because audible used a different narrator to the other 3 books, real shame. Please change this auditable!

Entertaining but not her best

I just kept waiting for something to actually happen. Felt like it trundled along without much action

slower than the trilogy

Good for history especially for those who are going to see Hamilton! Good background - ittle action. Still worth a listen

Lacks excitement

The story is, well, not really interesting. I've read and listened to the other books from D. Harness, and they were exciting. This one not so much.

Times Convert...

4th book, following on from the Discovery if Witches trilogy. This book concentrated on Marcuses life. The narrator is different, so Matthew sounds very different.

I felt this book was not as good as the previous three, didn’t like the era as much nor did I like the change of narrator. I just didn’t engage as much with this one. Disappointing.

Tied everything up

Took a bit to get used to different narrator. Gave good background to story.

Sad to say I'm a bit disappointed

I loved the previous books but I felt this one was lacking.... well, a story really. There are no major events, or a big mystery to be solved. It is nice to understand Marcus' background and that was well written but it felt like the whole book was just to provide background information that will be needed in future books perhaps (at least I hope that the case)

Good addition

This is a great addition to the trilogy, expanding Marcus’s story in an engaging way.
