Publisher's Summary

From the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches, now a major Sky TV series, a novel about what it takes to become a vampire.

From human to vampire ...

Marcus Whitmore was made a vampire in the eighteenth century. Over two hundred years later, he finds himself in love with Phoebe Taylor, a human who decides to become a vampire herself.

But her transformation will prove as challenging now as it was for Marcus when he first encountered Matthew de Clermont, his sire.

While Phoebe is secreted away, Marcus relives his own journey from the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, through the treachery of the French Revolution to a bloody finale in New Orleans. His belief in liberty, equality and brotherhood challenged at every stage by the patriarchy of the de Clermonts.

What will he and Phoebe discover in one another when they are finally reunited at Les Revenants, beneath the watchful gaze of Matthew and his wife, Diana Bishop?

Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Deborah Harkness returns to the spellbinding world she created in A Discovery of Witches and, through the prism of an unconventional love story, explores the power of tradition and the endless possibilities for change.

Critic Reviews

What a rich, thrilling and educational tale it is... A captivating and romantic ripping yarn (E L James)
This is a glorious, finely-wrought gem of a book: intelligent, thoughtful, intricate... I could lose myself in here and never want to come out: what better accolade can there be? ...Utterly enchanting on every level (Manda Scott)

Narrater ruined it.

I loved the trilogy so much I flew to England on my own tour or Oxford, The Bodleian Libraries and London. But the Narrater of this 4th book was Infuriatingly Terrible! She mis-pronounced so many wards but in particular the mis-pronouncment of Mart's name. Everytime Saskia Maarleveld mis-pronounced that wonderful character's name it felt like a step in the face and made me so furious that I nearly could not finish the book. Saskia Maarleveld, was not true to the accents or character inflections. Her performance was infuriating and frustrating. Why oh why did you not ask Jennifer Ikeda to narrate it? I really hope Deborah Harkness has this narrated version removed from history, for the sake of her fans, that loved her first Trilogy with such enrapture and devotion. I have listened to the First Trilogy so many times over and over. I will never listen to this Narrated by Saskia Maarleveld again as it puts me such a bubbling furious rage every time she gets pronunciation soo wrong it made me want to scream everytime. How could you let this be released? How could you ruin it!

Narrator ruined this

The first 3 are my favorite books of all time, I was so looking forward to this one but the voices changed so much from the trilogy. Matthew is cultured and very well spoken and now he sounds the same as Gallowglass. Very sad. I cant even get through this book.

Disappointing overall.

Let me start by saying that I adored the whole of the All Souls Trilogy. I loved the narration, I loved the storyline, I loved the well-researched history - it was a fantastic trilogy.
Sadly, this was poorly written, the story seemed to bounce around so much it made little real sense and I got no sense of connection to characters that I had previously been very engaged with. It was, in all honesty, very boring. It feels like it wasn't properly 'finished' before it was published - like it needed editing to make the story flow better and more sensibly. It's not the time travelling back and forth between periods I didn't enjoy, there's plenty of that in the other books, it's that it just didn't gel properly and I honestly could not have cared less about Marcus and Phoebe, who were supposed to be the main characters in this addition, though it spent as much time with Diana and the kids as it did them - which I was grateful for as they are by far more interesting people.
A sadly disappointing follow-up to a great series.
The narration was fantastic as always.

Not as good as the others

I loved the first three books in the series but this one didn’t seem to go anywhere. Nothing much happened apart from a look at Marcus’s history. There wasn’t anything at the end that left me hanging for another book. It wasn’t hard to listen to but at one point I’d actually forgotten I hadn’t finished it and moved on to something else.

Ruined by Narration

Very difficult going. Due to Jennifer Ikeda narration of the first three book, I could not stop listening. However, like many other reviewers I have found Saskia Maarleveld very difficult to listen to. Her pronunciation’s are annoying and the fact she can’t pronounce Mart’s name is beyond grating. She also gives Matthew a harsh gravelly voice and Marcus is not even Marcus he may as well be another character ! So very disappointed!
