Diana Bishop comes from a long line of witches. Deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library, Diana requests a manuscript during the course of her research. Wary of the power she feels from the book, she opens it and releases a chain of events affecting witches, vampires and daemons alike. The book also awakens Diana's long-dormant powers - powers that she never wanted.

Filled with intreague, romance and a rich history, A Discovery of Witches reads like a Dan Brown novel with a twist of the paranormal. Look for the second book in this trilogy coming in 2012.
