This book marks the final installation in the 'All Souls' trilogy by USC historian Deborah Harkness.
Diana Bishop is a witch and a Yale historian. Her husband is Matthew Clairmont, a
vampire and Oxford biochemist, and have been searching for Ashmole 782
(a.k.a. the Book of Life) through the first two books. In this series the daemons, vampires and witches live amongst us, but these creatures live an uneasy
existence alongside humans, and love across the inter-species lines
separating witch, vampire and daemon is as fraught with danger and is just as prohibited as
romance between the Capulets and the Montagues.
Located
in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, the magical Ashmole 782 may hold the
key to why some supernatural creatures are losing their power or
suffering from blood rage, an affliction Matthew harbors in secret that
can turn him and his progeny into deadly killers. In this final installment Diana proves herself to be not just a witch, but a weaver who has great magical powers. Matthew and his son Marcus gather enough DNA to uncover the biology behind the supernatural creatures and the information they uncover breaks the conventional views of vampires and witches. Great conclusion to a very fun series.
