Time's Convert
Deborah Harkness
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches, a novel about what it takes to become a vampire.
Set in contemporary Paris and London, and the American colonies during the upheaval and unrest that exploded into the Revolutionary War, a sweeping story that braids together the past and present.
On the battlefields of the American Revolution, Matthew de Clermont meets Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts, during a moment of political awakening when it seems that the world is on the brink of a brighter future. When Matthew offers him a chance at immortality and a new life, free from the restraints of his puritanical upbringing, Marcus seizes the opportunity to become a vampire. But his transformation is not an easy one and the ancient traditions and responsibilities of the de Clermont family clash with Marcus’s deeply-held beliefs in liberty, equality, and brotherhood.
A passionate love story and a fascinating exploration of the power of tradition and the possibilities for change, Time’s Convert will delight fans of the All Souls trilogy and all readers of magic, the supernatural, and romance.
The Black Bird Oracle (All Souls, #5)
Deborah Harkness
Diana Bishop journeys to the darkest places within herself—and her family history—in the highly anticipated fifth novel of the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling All Souls series.
Deborah Harkness first introduced the world to Diana Bishop, Oxford scholar and witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clairmont in A Discovery of Witches. Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, these two otherworldly beings found themselves at the center of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. Since then, they have fallen in love, traveled to Elizabethan England, dissolved the Covenant between the three species, and awoken the dark powers within Diana’s family line.
Now, Diana and Matthew receive a formal demand from the Congregation: They must test the magic of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Rebecca. Concerned with their safety and desperate to avoid the same fate that led her parents to spellbind her, Diana decides to forge a different path for her family’s future and answers a message from a great-aunt she never knew existed, Gwyneth Proctor, whose invitation simply reads: It’s time you came home, Diana.
On the hallowed ground of Ravenswood, the Proctor family home, and under the tutelage of Gwyneth, a talented witch grounded in higher magic, a new era begins for Diana: a confrontation with her family’s dark past, and a reckoning for her own desire for even greater power—if she can let go, finally, of her fear of wielding it.
The Discovery of Witches
Deborah Harkness
A richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together.
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.
Debut novelist Deborah Harkness has crafted a mesmerizing and addictive read, equal parts history and magic, romance and suspense. 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.

Nattens skygge (Heksenes nat #2)
Deborah Harkness
NATTENS SKYGGE er andet bind i trilogien om historikeren Diana Bishop fra Oxford, som er ud af hekseslægt, og hvis forældre blev dræbt på grund af deres evner, da hun var barn.
I NATTENS SKYGGE er Diana og Matthew, ved hjælp af Dianas evne som tidsrejsende, søgt tilbage til Matthews hjem ved Oxford i år 1590 (Matthew har som vampyr levet i rigtig mange år). De vil væk fra den instans, der misbilliger deres forhold, men de skal også finde en dygtig heks, der kan lære Diana hendes glemte evner, og så ikke mindst lok�alisere Ashmole 782, før manuskriptet bliver fortryllet, og før nogen river de 3 første sider ud, således at det bliver ødelagt og ordene flyver rundt og ikke kan læses. Rejsen tilbage til mørke, dunkle elizabethanske London er fuld af farer og spioner, men parret modtager hjælp fra Matthews venner i det mystiske selskab Nattens skole, som bl.a. inkluderer dramatikeren Christopher Marlowe og forfatter og opdagelsesrejsende Walter Raleigh, og Matthew bliver konfronteret med en del af sin lange fortid, som han troede var glemt og begravet.
Deborah Harkness har endnu en gang kreeret en fascinerende og farefuld verden fuld af fantasi, alkymi, tidsrejser, kærlighed og magiske opdagelser.
Heksenat
Deborah Harkness
Det begynder med fravær og begær.
Det begynder med blod og frygt.
Det begynder med en opdagelse af hekse.
Historikeren Diana Bishop, der er af hekseslægt, forsker i alkymistiske skrifter og falder over et fortryllet manuskript i Bodleian Library i Oxford. Diana har ikke brugt magi, siden hendes forældre blev dræbt på grund af deres evner, men da hun mærker manuskriptets kræfter, aner hun farer og sender det tilbage i arkivet uden at afkode dets indhold og hemmeligheder.
Hvad hun ikke ved er, at den gamle alkymistiske tekst Ashmole 782 har været forsvundet i århundreder og tiltrækker sig opmærksomhed fra andre væsner. Deriblandt vampyren Matthew Clairmont, som forsker i genetik. Meget imod sin vilje bliver Diana tiltrukket af Matthew, men et forhold mellem en heks og en vampyr er ikke problemfrit - især ikke da deres forhold strider mod en gammel pagt, som skal sikre ro og afstand mellem arterne og undgå at tiltrække sig opmærksomhed fra menneskerne.
I takt med at Dianas magiske evner vokser, står det klart, at nogen vil hende til livs, og sammen med Matthew forsøger hun at finde ud af, hvad manuskriptet indeholder af hemmeligheder om arternes fortid og mere interessant; deres fremtid. Og det skal vise sig at blive noget af en rejse - både i tid og sted.

Vestea ca Diana urmeaza sa nasca gemeni este primita cu entuziasm, dar si cu ingrijorare. In timp ce Diana trebuie sa-si apere pozitia in mijlocul complicatului neam de Clermont, pastrand totodata secretul asupra adevaratei naturi a puterilor ei, Matthew isi vede propriile taine scoase la lumina atunci cand Benjamin, fiul pe care il credea pierdut, revine in viata lui cu ganduri negre si o puternica dorinta de razbunare. Singura cale de a-si ocroti familia si prietenii ramane reintregirea misteriosului manuscris Ashmole 782 si descifrarea continutului sau. Strangand in jurul lor vampiri, vrajitoare, demoni si chiar oameni, Diana si Matthew se lasa condusi de scrierile stravechi, dar si de stiinta moderna, intr-o palpitanta aventura a cunoasterii la capatul careia vor afla cine sunt cu adevarat.

Deborah Harkness
In inima Bibliotecii Bodleiene din Oxford, profesorul universitar Diana Bishop descopera in cursul cercetarilor ei un manuscris alchimic – Ashmole 782 – aflat sub o vraja. Deși se trage dintr-un neam vechi și celebru de vrajitoare, Diana a renunțat de mult la moștenirea familiei sale in favoarea cercetarii universitare și a unei vieți obișnuite, așa ca, dupa o analiza sumara, returneaza manuscrisul. Dar descoperirea ei pune in mișcare o intreaga lume fantastica, atragand pe urmele sale deopotriva demoni, vrajitoare și vampiri. Printre ei se afla și Matthew Clairmont, un vampir genetician pasionat de teoriile lui Darwin, pe cat de periculos, pe atat de enigmatic. Relația care se infiripa intre cei doi amenința sa spulbere pacea fragila care domnește de secole in lumea lor. O poveste romantica sofisticata și plina de suspans ii unește in incercarea de a descoperi secretele manuscrisului, intre ale carui pagini se afla cheia unui trecut misterios și a unui viitor nesigur.

Mit ihren siebenjährigen Zwillingen haben die beiden ein neues Leben in Connecticut begonnen, als Diana erfährt, dass sie ihre Kinder zu einem großen Ritual zum Stammsitz ihrer Familie bringen muss.

Il libro della vita e della morte (Trilogia delle anime, #1)
Deborah Harkness
Quando Diana Bishop, una giovane storica studiosa di alchimia, scopre nella biblioteca Bodleiana di Oxford un antico manoscritto che vi era rimasto celato per secoli, non si rende conto di aver compiuto un gesto decisivo per la sua vita. Discendente da una stirpe di streghe, dopo la morte in circostanze misteriose di entrambi i genitori Diana aveva scelto di bandire la magia dalla propria esistenza. Ma la sua vera natura non è facile da relegare nell'ombra. Ora il potere del manoscritto è più forte di ogni sua decisione e, nonostante tutti i suoi tentativi, non riesce a metterlo da parte. Ma non è la sola a sentire con prepotenza l'attrazione per quell'antico testo, che nasconde oscure verità, incantesimi e sortilegi. Perché le streghe non sono le uniche creature ultraterrene che vivono a fianco degli umani, ci sono anche demoni, fantasiosi e distruttivi, e vampiri, eternamente giovani, e tutti sono interessati alla scoperta di Diana. Uno in particolare si distingue dagli altri, Matthew Clairmont, un vampiro, professore di genetica appassionato di Darwin. Il cui interesse per il manoscritto viene presto superato da quello per la giovane strega. Insieme intraprendono il viaggio per sviscerare i segreti celati nell'antico libro. Ma l'amore che nasce tra loro, un amore proibito da leggi radicate nel tempo, minaccia di alterare il fragile equilibrio esistente tra le creature e gli umani e di scatenare un conflitto che può avere conseguenze fatali.
