A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Library Call Number: PS3608.A7436 D57 2011.
Diana Bishop grew up an orphan and
became a Yale scholar in history. When
she uncovers an enchanted text in Oxford’s ancient Bodleian Library, she’s
forced to come to terms with her own past. Her parents both came from long
lines of witches and wizards and, though she wants nothing to do with magic,
the book she’s found leaves a trail soon followed by all sorts of demons,
witches and vampires, anxious to get their hands on the magical tome full of
potent alchemical spells.
With the help of a 1,500 year old
vampire, Bishop is the only one who can stop the magic of the book from being
unleashed into the world. She has to
come to terms with her family’s secrets and turn back the mystical evil
threatening the world.
Sub-titled all Souls Trilogy, this is
the first in a projected series of books that may grow to pop status.
