It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear. It begins with the discovery of witches. When historian Diana Bishop opens an alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, it represents an unwanted intrusion of magic into her carefully ordered life. Although Diana is a pureblood witch, the violent deaths of her parents when she was still a child convinced her that human fear is more powerful than any magic. Now, Diana has unwittingly exposed herself to a world she has kept hidden for years; a world of powerful witches, destructive creative daemons, and long-lived vampires. Realizing the significance of Diana's discovery, the creatures congregate at Oxford, among them the mysterious Matthew Clairmont, a vampire geneticist. Diana is inexplicably drawn to Matthew, and in a shadowy world of half-truths and ancient enmities, she binds herself to him without fully understanding the ancient line they cross. As they begin to unravel the secrets of the manuscript and their feelings for each other
