Publisher's Summary

The number one New York Times best-selling series finale and sequel to A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night.

Look for the hit TV series A Discovery of Witches, streaming on AMC Plus, Sundance Now, and Shudder.

Bringing the magic and suspense of the All Souls Trilogy to a deeply satisfying conclusion, this highly anticipated finale went straight to number one on the New York Times best seller list. In The Book of Life, Diana and Matthew time-travel back from Elizabethan London to make a dramatic return to the present - facing new crises and old enemies. At Matthew’s ancestral home, Sept-Tours, they reunite with the beloved cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches - with one significant exception. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on even more urgency.

Enthralling

Love the series, the characters are imagined perfectly without it drawing on or repeating. The voice narration is great, so much so that you can tell who is speaking before she tells you. The creatures are wonderfully created and reimagined.

Perfect

I fell in love with everything in this series. I started off watching the tv programmes and they were just as great so I decided I wanted to get the books and this was the easiest way. Loved them. Highly recommendable.
