Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
In a modern world that finds less and less room for the magical as science & technology build there are still creatures of magical legend among us, right under our own noses. As these creatures all fight to gain control over a magical book that is suppose to hold the secrets to their origins, two enemies fall in love and begin a journey of discovery that can only lead to the destruction of magical world as they know it & the rebirth of a new age for Witches, Vampires, Daemons & Humans alike.
Part of this book’s beauty is the symbolism worked through out it and the amazing correlations made by Harkness (herself a medieval historian) between ancient alchemy manuscripts & biblical passages. Once you pick up this book you will have a hard time putting it down. Discovery of Witches is book 1 of a most amazing trilogy!
