A Discovery Of Witches

Description

Diana is a bold heroine who meets her equal in vampire geneticist matthew clairmont, and gradually warms up to him as their alliance deepens into an intimacy that violates age-old taboos. this smart, sophisticated story harks back to the novels of anne rice, but it is as contemporary and sensual as the twilight series-with an extra serving of historical realism. deep in the stacks of oxford’s bodleian library, young scholar diana bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. but her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. diana has stumbled upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries-and she is the only creature who can break its spell.
