   • 26 ore di lettura

   Nella biblioteca Bodleiana di Oxford, Diana Bishop, giovane storica e studiosa di alchimia, scopre un misterioso manoscritto. Il tocco della sua mano sulla copertina riaccende in lei la magia che aveva cercato di bandire dalla sua vita dopo la morte dei genitori. Discendente da una nota stirpe di streghe, Diana è fatalmente legata all'Ashmole 782, un libro che attira demoni, vampiri e streghe, tutti desiderosi di decifrarne i contenuti. Tra questi c'è Matthew Clairmont, un affascinante professore di genetica e vampiro. Il libro regola l'esistenza delle creature ultraterrene e nasconde segreti vitali. Diana e Matthew si innamorano, ma la loro unione è vietata dalle leggi delle streghe e dei vampiri. In cerca del prezioso volume, i due si catapultano nel cuore dell'Inghilterra elisabettiana del 1591, alla corte della regina, dove incontrano un esclusivo circolo di personaggi, tra cui il drammaturgo Christopher Marlowe e l'astronomo Thomas Harriot. Tuttavia, il XVI secolo è un periodo pericoloso, segnato da una spietata caccia alle streghe. Diana e Matthew intraprenderanno un viaggio attraverso l'Europa, fino a Praga, con l'unica speranza di rubare il testo alchemico e tornare al XXI secolo.

   Diana Bishop embarks on a profound journey into her own darkness and family history in the fifth novel of the beloved All Souls series. Introduced as an Oxford scholar and witch alongside vampire geneticist Matthew de Clairmont, Diana's story began with their love amidst the quest for the enchanted manuscript Ashmole 782. Since then, they have explored Elizabethan England, dismantled the Covenant between their species, and awakened dark powers within Diana's lineage. Now, faced with a formal demand from the Congregation to test the magic of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Rebecca, Diana is determined to protect them from the fate that befell her parents. To forge a different future for her family, she responds to a message from her long-lost great-aunt, Gwyneth Proctor, inviting her home. At Ravenswood, the Proctor family estate, Diana begins a new chapter under Gwyneth's guidance, a skilled witch in higher magic. This marks the start of a confrontation with her family's shadowy past and a reckoning with her own desire for greater power—if she can finally overcome her fear of embracing it.
