A Discovery of Witches

Now a major Sky original production

THE NUMBER ONE INTERNATIONAL AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES is the first in the must-have, must-read ALL SOULS trilogy.

It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches.

Diana Bishop, a young scholar and descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she must navigate with a vampire, Matthew Clairmont.
