| Summary |
When historian Diana Bishop opens a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library,it's an unwelcome intrusion of magic into her carefully ordinary life. Though Diana is a witch of impeccable lineage, her parents' violent death convinced her while still a child that human fear is more powerful than any witchcraft. But in the days that follow, the library fills up with creatures ' daemons, witches and vampires ' as the rumour spreads that the book has been found, the one whichholds the secret to their origins. Among them is the enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, a vampire geneticist with a passion for Darwin . As the creatures close in around her, Diana finds herself drawn to Matthew and, in a shadowy world of half-truths and old enmities, ties herself to him without fully understanding the consequences of their relationship. Thus begins the forbidden love of Diana and Matthew, caught at the centre of an epic struggle between daemons, witches and vampires. |
