A Discovery of Witches is a 2011 historical-fantasy novel and the debut novel by American scholar Deborah Harkness. It follows the story of Diana Bishop, an alchemical history professor at Oxford University who, after accidentally calling an elusive, long-thought-lost manuscript, is compelled to embrace the magic in her blood she has sought to keep out of her life and engage in a forbidden romance with charming vampire Matthew Clairmont.
"The leather-bound volume was nothing remarkable. To an ordinary historian, it would have looked no different from hundreds of other manuscri pts i n Oxford’ s Bodlei an Li brary, anci ent and worn. But I knew there was
something odd about it from the moment I collected it." --Dr. Bishop [Diana Bishop, an alchemical history professor at Oxford University]
