Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness
Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont, a mated witch and vampire, must find a witch to tutor Diana before her powers spin out of control. The problem is witches of Diana's prodigious skill are presently few and far between. Thus they decide their best bet lies in witches of the past. Diana and Matthew timewalk to Elizabethan England, where they rely on Matthew's friends, the mysterious School of Night, to protect them. Plunged into a world of spies and magic, Diana and Matthew find themselves in a race against time to find Ashmole 782 and figure out the gaps in Diana's magical education. The past, however, harbors far more dangers than they ever imagined.
Book 2 in the All Souls Trilogy. 584 pages.

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
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.
Book 1 in the All Souls Trilogy. 579 pages.
