About this listen

Fall under the spell of Diana and Matthew once more in the stunning climax to the All Souls trilogy, following A Disocvery of Witches and Shadow of Night.

A world of witches, daemons and vampires. A manuscript which holds the secrets of their past and the key to their future. Diana and Matthew - the forbidden love at the heart of it.

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. But the real threat to their future is yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for the elusive manuscript Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on a terrifying urgency. Using ancient knowl­edge and modern science, from the palaces of Venice and beyond, Diana and Matthew will finally learn what the witches discovered so many centuries ago.

I really wish there were 10 more books. They weave a spell of their own.

I loved this series so much!! And the final book did not let me down - A truly thrilling and satisfying ending to Diana and Matthews' story!!
What made this series all the more brilliant to listen to was the fantastic narrator - her voice was excellent and her subtle changes in tone, her broad ability for accents and the feeling she put behind every single sentence was incredible and very well done!!

A wonderful conclusion!!

I thoroughly enjoyed all three books in the series and I am sure that I will listen to them all again. Marvellous story with characters that you can’t help but love and plenty of drama with wisdom entwined.

While the story is predictable, the narration of the All souls trio makes it well worth listening too!
I love a good story and this trilogy is just that. However, I am not sure if it would stand the test of
time if it were not for Jennifer Ikeda.

Superb narration

The narration of Jennifer Ikeda is brilliant! I found myself reading the hard copy book in the same voices provided by the narration...I couldn’t wait to hear the characters come to life through Jennifer!

A fitting finale to the All Souls Trilogy, I want to read more!
