Diana Bishop comes from a long line of witches dating back to the very first Salem Witch Trial that put her ancestor, Bridget Bishop to death. After her parents’ deaths at a young age, Diana decides to stay as far away from magic as she can, despite her family legacy and the powers that run through her blood. Diana graduates from high school at a mere sixteen years old and enters college. After acquiring her PhD and getting a tenure track position at Yale University, she goes to back to familiar Oxford, England where she once studied abroad, to conduct some more research on the history of science, specifically, alchemy. While at Oxford, she runs into a few…shall we say, creatures, that are after something that she has found in the Bodleian Library. What will happen when Diana is cornered by a warlock, other witches, daemons, and vampires who will do anything to get this magical book, Ashmole 782? Check out, Deborah Harkness’, A Discovery of Witches to find out! This gripping plot will pull you in and bring you to a place of fascination, excitement, and intrigue.
