Marcus Whitmore was made a vampire in the 18th century. Over 200 years later, he finds himself in love with Phoebe Taylor, a human who decides to become a vampire herself. But her transformation will prove as challenging now as it was for Marcus when he first encountered Matthew de Clermont, his sire. While Phoebe is secreted away, Marcus relives his own journey from the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, through the treachery of the French Revolution, to a bloody finale in New Orleans.

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 other-worldly beings found themselves at the centre of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. Since then, they have fallen in love, travelled to Elizabethan England, dissolved the Covenant between the three species, and awoken the dark powers within Diana's family line.

After traveling through time in Shadow of Night, the second book in Deborah Harkness's enchant­ing series, historian and witch Diana Bishop and vampire scientist Matthew Clairmont return to the present to face new crises and old enemies. At Matthew's ancestral home in France they reunite with their families - with one heart-breaking exception.

Restare giovani per sempre, sfuggire alla tirannia del tempo: essere un vampiro vuol dire anche questo, e quando Matthew de Clermont fa la sua bizzarra e inquietante proposta al giovane Marcus - diventare, come lui, un non-morto - sta facendo molto più che salvargli la vita sul campo di battaglia. Gli sta offrendo l'opportunità di sconfiggere il tempo. È la fine del Settecento, e Matthew incontra il giovane chirurgo Marcus in piena Rivoluzione americana.

Diana Bishop ist Historikerin mit Leib und Seele. Dass in ihr zudem das Blut eines uralten Hexengeschlechts fließt, versucht sie zu ignorieren...

Eine große Liebe, die Zeit und Kontinente überwindet... Aus Liebe entschließt sich die junge Phoebe, ihr sterbliches Leben hinter sich zu lassen, und Vampirin zu werden - denn Marcus, dem ihr Herz gehört, ist ein Unsterblicher. Doch alte Traditionen machen es ihnen nicht leicht: Sie besagen, dass sie sich neunzig Tage nach der Verwandlung nicht sehen dürfen. Während Phoebe noch mit ihren neuen Kräften zurechtkommen muss, erinnert sich Marcus an sein Dasein als Mensch und an ein dunkles, tief verwurzeltes Geheimnis.
