Overview:
Step into Deborah Harkness's spellbinding All Souls world with this definitive 4-book collection. A Discovery of Witches introduces Diana Bishop, a modern-day witch and scholar who unlocks Ashmole 782, a centuries-old alchemical manuscript that pulls magical intrigue into the daylight world. The fateful meeting with vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont launches a dangerous alliance where intellect, romance, and peril collide. Shadow of Night carries them to Elizabethan London, where secrets fester in the court and the School of Night gathers its shadowy cabal. Diana seeks a tutor in magic while Matthew contends with his past and the ever-present threat of enemies who would use Ashmole 782 for power. The Book of Life returns them to the present, reuniting beloved characters at Sept-Tours while the mystery around Ashmole 782 intensifies and new dangers surface. Times Convert expands the universe further, weaving science, history, and an unconventional romance into a tapestry of spellbinding suspense. This 4-book collection offers a complete, immersive journey for readers who crave intelligent fantasy, rich atmosphere, and a centuries-spanning romance.

What Makes This Collection Special:
Together, the four novels compose a single, expansive voyage rather than four disconnected volumes. Readers trace Diana and Matthew as they cross centuries, from scholarly libraries to candlelit courts, all while Ashmole 782 anchors the mystery. The relationship at the center—a witch and a vampire navigating trust, duty, and desire—offers emotional depth that evolves with each book. This collection isn't just a bundle; it's a curated journey that rewards careful reading, with lush atmosphere, precise world-building, and a satisfying blend of romance, suspense, and history. New to the series or a long-time fan, you'll likely find re-reading the quartet reveals new clues and richer character threads.

Books Included in This Collection:
A Discovery of Witches
A Discovery of Witches introduces Diana Bishop, a brilliant witch and scholar who stumbles upon Ashmole 782, a centuries-old manuscript steeped in power. The discovery draws dangerous interest from both the supernatural and human worlds. To safeguard the manuscript—and their lives—Diana forms an uneasy alliance with Matthew Clairmont, a centuries-old vampire scientist whose intellect and secrets pull her into a high-stakes game of trust, danger, and desire.
