The #1 New York Times bestselling series finale and sequel to A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night
Bringing the magic and suspense of the All Souls Trilogy to a deeply satisfying conclusion, this highly anticipated finale went straight to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. In The Book of Life, Diana and Matthew time-travel back from Elizabethan London to make a dramatic return to the present—facing new crises and old enemies. At Matthew’s ancestral home, Sept-Tours, they reunite with the beloved cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches—with one significant exception. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on even more urgency.

This was an absolute perfect ending to the trilogy.

My questions were answered, loose ends were tied, and I felt like the bad guys received justice.

Matthew and Diana are up against a nemesis that I didn’t entirely see coming. They have their family behind them and I am absolutely intrigued as to what else is next for these characters. Diana is exactly the kind of heroine I needed. She was strong and self-reliant regardless of her super-protective husband.

I need more Gallowglass, Baldwin, Ysabeau, Marcus.

Luckily for me, Marcus and Phoebe get their own story in Time’s Convert. Needless to say, I’m starting that one now.

 

 

 

 

 

About Deborah Harkness

My life has been a series of left turns that nevertheless took me in the right direction (though it didn't always seem so at the time). I went to college to be a theater major and ended up studying the Renaissance. I went to grad school to become a college administrator and loved to teach so much I became a college professor instead. I thought I wanted to be a Tudor-Stuart historian, and found myself a historian of science. I started blogging because a friend needed help on a project in 2006 and am still blogging about wine today. I started writing a novel in the fall of 2008, and it became a New York Times Bestseller in February 2011: A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES. The second volume in the All Souls Trilogy, SHADOW OF NIGHT, came out in July 2012 and debuted at #1 on the NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller's List, as did the final volume THE BOOK OF LIFE. I haven't managed to escape the world of All Souls, however. A companion book (May 2018) and a book about Marcus are on their way (TIME'S CONVERT, September 2018)
