The #1 New York Times-bestselling sequel to A Discovery of Witches, book two of the All Souls Series. Look for the hit TV series “A Discovery of Witches,” streaming on AMC Plus, Sundance Now and Shudder. Season 2 premieres January 9, 2021! Picking up from A Discovery of Witches’ cliffhanger ending, Shadow of Night takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a … and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew’s old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782–the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another’s orbit–deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew’s past tightens around them. Together they find they must embark on a very different – and vastly more dangerous – journey.
“A captivating and romantic ripping yarn,” Shadow of Night confirms Deborah Harkness as a master storyteller, able to cast an “addictive tale of magic, mayhem and two lovers.”

Just loved this book as much as the first two of the series.
Fun read, nothing heavy but good character development. Fun series.
Love it, couldn’t put it down.
I think this was my favourite of the three in the “All Souls Trilogy”. I am a big lover of history as well as an Anglophile, so I really enjoyed taking a step into one of the most infamous times in English history. I also found the adventures Matthew and Diana went on to be incredibly entertaining, I would even venture to say more entertaining than the rest of the adventures in the other books. I liked seeing Diana start to gain confidence in herself and who she is as a witch and seeing Matthew take a step back as he gets wrapped up in who he was in the past as opposed to who he is now. Overall, I think this is an excellent addition to the trilogy.
Ok Miss Harkness…please do not be long in releasing book three! I was captivated much sooner in this installment of the All Souls Trilogy. I love the aspects of history thrown in, even though I am not a history buff or even much cared for the subject in school. The writing made it interesting and easy to follow. The story was so good, and it was neat to see how Diana and Matthew changed throughout the book. There were also some much more sad parts to this book than the first. All in all, I loved it and I can not wait to read book 3.
I could not put this book down! I didn’t think I was a fan of “historical” but I absolutely loved seeing the world through Diana’s eyes back then. Highly Recommend!
Read all three books, you won’t be sorry.
I enjoyed this series so much a read it a second time to catch all the details I missed the first time.
A historical Romance, adventure, of self discovery! As enchanting and enthralling as Discovery of Witches…..
