ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“A Discovery of Witches” by Deborah Harkness is a captivating blend of history, science, and magic. The story follows Diana Bishop, a historian and reluctant witch, who unexpectedly discovers a powerful and mysterious manuscript, Ashmole 782, in the Bodleian Library. This discovery draws her into a dangerous world of supernatural beings—witches, vampires, and daemons—all of whom seek the manuscript for their own purposes. As Diana’s magical abilities awaken, she forms an unlikely alliance with Matthew Clairmont, a centuries-old vampire. The novel explores themes of love, identity, power, and prejudice in a richly imagined, mystical world.
