Shadow of Night

About Shadow of Night

For readers who loved A Discovery of Witches and want the world to expand into one of history's most vivid settings — Elizabethan London in all its dangerous, glittering detail. Diana and Matthew travel back to 1590 to find teachers for Diana's rare magic, moving through a world of alchemists, spies, and historical luminaries including Christopher Marlowe and Elizabeth I herself. Deborah Harkness excels at layering authentic historical detail into her paranormal romance framework. The second All Souls book is slower and more textured than the first, richly rewarding for readers who love immersive historical fiction with a supernatural heart.
