A Discovery of Witches

Some books contain knowledge powerful enough to change the world — and some awaken dangerous magic the moment they’re opened.

A Discovery of Witches follows Diana Bishop, a historian and reluctant witch who unknowingly uncovers a mysterious enchanted manuscript hidden within Oxford’s Bodleian Library. Her discovery draws the attention of supernatural creatures across the world — including Matthew Clairmont, a brilliant and dangerously alluring vampire whose growing connection with Diana threatens centuries of ancient rules and rivalries.

Deborah Harkness delivers a richly atmospheric fantasy romance layered with academic intrigue, slow-burning chemistry, and immersive historical detail. Intelligent, magical, and deeply emotional, this beloved romantasy blends witches, vampires, forbidden love, and scholarly mystery into an unforgettable reading experience.

Perfect for readers who love:
• witch and vampire romance
• dark academia fantasy vibes
• slow-burn forbidden attraction
• magical libraries and ancient secrets
• atmospheric historical fantasy
