About this listen
Now a major Sky TV series. A Discovery of Witches season two coming soon.
Listen to the novel season two is based on.
Fall deeper under the spell of Diana and Matthew in the captivating second volume of the number one internationally best-selling All Souls trilogy, following A Discovery of Witches. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Diana Gabaldon and J. K. Rowling.
In a world of witches, daemons and vampires the fragile balance of peace is unravelling. Diana and Matthew's forbidden love has broken the laws dividing creatures. To discover the manuscript which holds their hope for the future, they must now travel back to the past.
When Diana Bishop, descended from a line of powerful witches, discovered a significant alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, she sparked a struggle in which she became bound to long-lived vampire Matthew Clairmont. Now the coexistence of witches, daemons, vampires and humans is dangerously threatened.
Seeking safety, Diana and Matthew travel back in time to London, 1590. But they soon realise that the past may not provide a haven. Reclaiming his former identity as poet and spy for Queen Elizabeth, the vampire falls back in with a group of radicals known as the School of Night. Many are unruly daemons, the creative minds of the age, including playwright Christopher Marlowe and mathematician Thomas Harriot.
Together Matthew and Diana scour Tudor London for the elusive manuscript Ashmole 782 and search for the witch who will teach Diana how to control her remarkable powers....

Fantastic Continuation of the Trilogy
Love the way historic London is described, makes it so tangible. and how Diana and Matthew's relationship deepens and grows as they learn to read each other and grow as a couple, also how historical figures are weaved into the story.

Brilliant
I love the defined parameters of this book. We've travelled to 1590 Elizabethan England and predominantly stay in the period until the end. It's a great story and continuation of the first book. I loved the pace, the details and descriptions that transported me right alongside the protagonists. I relished meeting the players, real or imagined. Loved it.

Great for lovers of the Witchy, Vampiric occult
Most enjoyable, a little slow and repetitive in parts. Overall, a good read containing historical facts.

fantastic book
The story is fantastic, I love all three of the books but this is my favourite, the narration is first class and the voice of the narrator really suits the characters and the writing, if you have not listened to this book then you should as soon as possible

Love it even more than the first one.
Another great story. It was just fantastic. I just hope if they will do second TV series, they will do this book justice. Amazing.
