About this audiobook
The #1 New York Times bestselling sequel to A Discovery of Witches, book two of the All Souls series.
Look for the hit series “A Discovery of Witches,” now streaming on AMC+, Sundance Now, and Shudder!
Picking up from A Discovery of Witches’ cliffhanger ending, Shadow of Night takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782—the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit—deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them. Together they find they must embark on a very different—and vastly more dangerous—journey.
“A captivating and romantic ripping yarn,”* Shadow of Night confirms Deborah Harkness as a master storyteller, able to cast an “addictive tale of magic, mayhem and two lovers.”*

Any author who can compel me to appreciate an historical time travel story is truly remarkable. Everything I dislike about the traditions of those combined genres is corrected. The time travel is explained in a way that doesn't make the scientist in me cringe, and the charms of the living in the Elizabethan era are doused with some reality. This story is complex, and the settings are masterfully constructed. Even the most aggravating characters have engaging qualities. I would have preferred more descriptions of swords than dresses, but every description was so vivid that I enjoyed them all. The narration by Jennifer Ikeda is beautifully performed, and each character has a distinct voice. Overall this has been an excellent adventure that pulled me firmly out of my comfort zone which is an amazing accomplishment
