Book one of the New York Times bestselling All Souls trilogy--"a wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight" (People)

Deborah Harkness's sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting tale of magic and suspense. The story continues in book two, Shadow of Night, and concludes with The Book of Life. The story now comes alive in an incredibly lush eponymous TV series, starring Teresa Palmer (I Am Number Four, Hacksaw Ridge) and Matthew Goode (Match Point, The Imitation Game). The show will premiere on January 17, 2019 on Sundance's new streaming platforms Sundance Now and Shudder.

5 (Perfeito)

Assisti a série antes de ler o livro. Achei uma adaptação muito legal, mas com quase sempre o livro é bem mais profundo.
Os acontecimentos do livro acontecem devagarinho e achei isso muito bom pois me deu tempo de conhecer os personagens. Eu me apaixonei por eles.
Vou continuar a ler os livros pois o muito é bem profundo e bem construído.
* Tambem amo uma viagem no tempo.
