Diana Bishop, an American historian, plans to spend most of her spare time throughout the summer and fall in Oxford's Bodleian Library, perusing alchemical manuscripts. When she recalls Ashmole 782 from the stacks, she discovers it is bewitched and hastily sends it back. Though Diana is a witch who refuses to use her powers since the deaths of her parents, she knows enough to recognize when something--or someone--is bewitched. Diana's ability to recall the manuscript, supposedly lost for centuries, causes the underworld of witches, vampires, and daemons to descend upon Oxford. Their sudden appearance sets Diana on a course that will irrevocably change her life.
