The Black Bird Oracle
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Diana Bishop journeys to the darkest places within herself—and her family history—in the highly anticipated fifth novel of the beloved All Souls series, hailed as “your next favorite fantasy read” (Harper’s Bazaar). “The Black Bird Oracle deftly explores the nexus of memory, history, and parenthood—the magic, pain, and promises mothers pass onto their children.”—Jodi Picoult Deborah Harkness first introduced the world to Diana Bishop, an Oxford scholar and witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clermont in A Discovery of Witches. Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, these two otherworldly beings found themselves at the center of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. Since then, they have fallen in love, traveled to Elizabethan England, dissolved the Covenant between the three species, and awoken the dark powers within Diana’s family line. Now, Diana and Matthew receive a formal demand from the Congregation: They must test the magic of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Rebecca. Concerned with their safety and desperate to avoid the same fate that led her parents to spellbind her, Diana decides to forge a different path for her family’s future and answers a message from a great-aunt she never knew existed, Gwyneth Proctor, whose invitation simply reads: It’s time you came home, Diana. On the hallowed ground of Ravenswood, the Proctor family home, and under the tutelage of Gwyneth, a talented witch grounded in higher magic, a new era begins for Diana: a confrontation with her family’s dark past and a reckoning for her own desire for even greater power—if she can let go, finally, of her fear of wielding it. In this stunning new novel, grand in scope, Deborah Harkness deepens the beloved world of All Souls with powerful new magic and long-hidden secrets, and the path Diana finds at Ravenswood leads to the most consequential moments yet in this cherished series.

Het teken van de vogel
Bestsellerauteur Deborah Harkness keert terug naar de geliefde Allerzielen-wereld met een grootse roman die terugvoert naar de heksenvervolgingen in Salem en die Diana''s familiegeschiedenis op een nieuwe, spannende manier belicht. Een stervende raaf voor het huis van Diana Bishop is de voorbode van een onheilspellende uitnodiging: ''Het is tijd dat je naar huis komt, Diana.'' Diana is een heks en historicus; haar man Matthew Clairmont is vampier en wetenschapper. Hun intense liefde schudde de donkere krachten in haar wakker en verbrak het verbond tussen de heksen, demonen en vampieren, die naast de mensen leven. Nu hebben de machthebbers van de Congregatie besloten dat de magische krachten van Pip en Rebecca, de zesjarige tweeling van Diana en Matthew, moeten worden getest. Diana, bezorgd over hun veiligheid, besluit voor de toekomst van haar gezin een andere weg in te slaan. Ze reist af naar Ravenswood, het huis van de familie Proctor, waar haar oudtante Gwyneth haar inwijdt in de hogere magie. Daar begint voor Diana een nieuw tijdperk: ze leert haar familieverleden onder ogen te zien – net als haar eigen onontkoombare verlangen naar magische krachten. ''A Discovery of Witches is een magisch boek.'' USA Today ''Het teken van de vogel onderzoekt het verband tussen herinnering, geschiedenis en ouderschap: de magie, pijn en beloften die moeders doorgeven aan hun kinderen.'' Jodi Picoult

Filho do tempo
Redescubra o universo da TRILOGIA DAS ALMAS, que deu origem ao seriado A DESCOBERTA DAS BRUXAS Em uma mistura extraordinária de romance histórico e fantasia, Deborah Harkness está de volta para contar a história de Marcus de Clermont, em uma reflexão sobre como o tempo foi – e continua sendo – capaz de transformá-lo. "A vida, por mais longa que seja, é apenas um sopro." Nos campos de batalha da Revolução Americana, durante um período de grandes mudanças políticas, Matthew de Clermont conhece o jovem cirurgião Marcus MacNeil e lhe oferece a chance de se tornar um vampiro. Mas não há nada de simples nessa transformação; a família Clermont é cheia de tradições e obrigações ancestrais que, inevitavelmente, entram em conflito com os valores que Marcus defende: liberdade, igualdade e fraternidade. Muitos anos depois, Marcus – que abandonou seu sobrenome e adotou o de Clermont – acompanha a jornada de sua parceira humana, Phoebe Taylor, para fazer parte do mundo dos vampiros. É então que ele é compelido a pensar sobre os desafios que permeiam essa transição e reviver as memórias sombrias das quais acreditava ter escapado séculos antes. Talvez essa seja a oportunidade de Marcus, enfim, contar a sua história. Perfeito tanto para quem quer conhecer quanto para aqueles que desejam retornar ao apaixonante universo da Trilogia das Almas – que mistura realismo histórico com a força sobrenatural de vampiros, bruxas e demônios –, Filho do tempo é uma história de amor e de laços familiares que explora o embate entre tradição e revolução. O talento de Deborah Harkness continua incomparável, com potencial para atravessar os séculos. "Para ser vampiro, é preciso escolher a vida. A sua vida, e não de outrem, de novo e de novo, dia após dia. É preciso escolhê-la no lugar do sono, da paz, do luto, da morte. No fim, o que nos define é o nosso desejo incansável de viver. Sem isso, somos apenas um pesadelo ou um fantasma: uma sombra do humano que um dia fomos."

Az éjszaka árnyai
A boszorkányok elveszett könyvéből megismert Diana és Matthew szerelme továbbra is izzik, kalandos történetük egyre újabb fordulatokat vesz térben és időben. Diana ugyanis nemcsak történész, hanem boszorkány is, a vonzó Matthew pedig vámpír. Mivel az oxfordi könyvtár rejtélyes kéziratának eltűnése nem hagyja őket nyugodni, a nyomába erednek, de nincsenek egyedül: démonok, vámpírok, boszorkányok akadályozzák őket. Elhatározzák hát, hogy visszautaznak az időben a kézirat keletkezésének korába, így próbálják megszerezni. Diana korábban tudomást sem akart venni őseitől örökölt képességeiről, most viszont sürgető vágyat érez, hogy elsajátítsa a boszorkánymesterséget. Amikor ott találják magukat az 1590-es évben, körülöttük Londonban nyüzsögnek a költők, színműírók, udvaroncok - és persze a természetfeletti lények. Ők megérzik, hogy Diana közülük való, ő pedig lassan tudatára ébred a hatalmának. Amire nagy szüksége is lesz, mivel hanyatlóban a vámpírok népe, és az okok kiderítése rájuk vár... Az éjszaka árnyai nem pusztán borzongatóan szenvedélyes szerelmi történet, hanem egyszersmind eleven portré az Erzsébet-korról: találkozunk a szerzőtársától ötleteket kunyeráló Will Shakespeare-rel, nagy hatalmú államférfiakkal - és persze magával a szűz királynővel is. Varázslatos íráskészségével Deborah Harkness ismét lenyűgözi rajongóit: ahogy a mágia és az intrika szövevényéből letehetetlen történetet kerekít, az csakugyan boszorkányos. "Regényírói munkásságom 2008 szeptemberében kezdődött, amikor egyszer csak eszembe jutott, hogy ha tényleg léteznek vámpírok, akkor vajon miből élnek?" - Erre a kérdésre adott váratlan, csattanós választ az amerikai történészprofesszor, Deborah Harkness A boszorkányok elveszett könyve megírásával, amely megjelenésekor szinte azonnal a bestsellerlisták élére került, majd szerte a világon óriási sikert aratott. A folytatás sem váratott sokáig magára: 2012-ben elkészült a Mindenszentek-trilógia második kötete, Az éjszaka árnyai, amely szintén rögtön elfoglalta az első helyet a New York Times toplistáján.

A Diana körül gyülekező túlvilági teremtmények központi figurája egy ezerötszáz éves vámpír, Matthew Clairmont, aki mellesleg az oxfordi egyetem professzora és az Angol Tudományos Akadémia tagja. Ők ketten elhatározzák, hogy megfejtik az eltűnt kézirat titkát. Deborah Harkness regénye ennek az izgalmas vállalkozásnak és kettőjük kapcsolatának története.

Si può, per amore, rinnegare la propria natura? Restare giovani per sempre, sfuggire alla tirannia del tempo: essere un vampiro vuol dire anche questo, e quando Matthew de Clermont fa la sua bizzarra e inquietante proposta al giovane Marcus - diventare, come lui, un non-morto - sta facendo molto più che salvargli la vita sul campo di battaglia. Gli sta offrendo l''opportunità di sconfiggere il tempo. È la fine del Settecento, e Matthew incontra il giovane chirurgo Marcus in piena Rivoluzione americana. Da quell''incontro provvidenziale comincia il suo viaggio nella storia e nell''eternità, sotto lo sguardo amorevole di Matthew e Diana, sua moglie e strega immortale, che lo considerano un figlio: è stato Matthew, in fondo, ad averlo fatto "rinascere".

Deborah Harkness torna a intrecciare meravigliosamente amore, storia passata e dilemmi morali in un nuovo romanzo con i protagonisti de La Trilogia delle Anime, che dopo il grandissimo successo in libreria è diventata un''acclamata serie tv.

La esperada segunda parte de la trilogía «El descubrimiento de las brujas». Una vez asumida su condición de bruja con poderes para viajar en el tiempo, la historiadora Diana Bishop está preparada para emprender un viaje al pasado en el que poder encontrar el Ashmole 782 completo, el manuscrito secreto cuyos poderes deben comprender para evitar el fin de la pacífica convivencia entre brujas, vampiros, daimones y humanos. Su marido, el genetista Matthew Clairmont, la acompañará en esta búsqueda, pero viajar al pasado no es tan sencillo para un vampiro, y mucho menos a un pasado que ya vivió, donde su «yo» del pasado desempeñó un relevante papel en la lucha política de la época; un «yo» que odiaba a las brujas como Diana. Rodeados de intrigas y en una incesante carrera por encontrar Ashmole 782, Diana y Matthew se adentrarán en el Londres isabelino acompañados por los amigos del Matthew del pasado, los miembros de la Escuela de la Noche, entre los que se encuentran Christopher Marlowe, sir Walter Raleigh e incluso Shakespeare.

Det begynder med fravær og begær. Det begynder med blod og frygt. Det begynder med en opdagelse af hekse. Historikeren Diana Bishop, der er af hekseslægt, forsker i alkymistiske skrifter og falder over et fortryllet manuskript i Bodleian Library i Oxford.

Deriblandt vampyren Matthew Clairmont, som forsker i genetik. Meget imod sin vilje bliver Diana tiltrukket af Matthew, men et forhold mellem en heks og en vampyr er ikke problemfrit – især ikke da deres forhold strider mod en gammel pagt, som skal sikre ro og afstand mellem arterne og undgå at tiltrække sig opmærksomhed fra menneskerne. I takt med at Dianas magiske evner vokser, står det klart, at nogen vil hende til livs, og sammen med Matthew forsøger hun at finde ud af, hvad manuskriptet indeholder af hemmeligheder om arternes fortid og mere interessant; deres fremtid. Og det skal vise sig at blive noget af en rejse – både i tid og sted. "Vidunderlig og fortryllende fantasy for voksne - en historie om hekse, vampyrer, dæmoner og mennesker spundet ind i medrivende historie om et forhekset gammlet manuskript og forbudt kærlighed." - Litteratursiden All Souls-triologien er blevet filmatiseret til serien A Discovery of Witches, der bliver sendt på HBO. Hovedrollerne Diana Bishop og Matthew Clairmont bliver spillet af Teresa Palmer og Matthew Goode.
