About this listen

Now a major Sky original production.

The number on international and Sunday Times best seller.

A Discovery of Witches is the first in the must-have, must-listen 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.

This manuscript, Ashmole 782, holds the secrets of their past...and the key to their future.

This is narrated by an excellent Jennifer Ikeda, and she does a splendid job of the voices and sounds required. The excellent writing must make this easier, but she did not let anything drop. The writing itself is spell binding and I listen to this book on my 1 hour journey to work, sometimes hoping that I can arrive after the chapter has ended. Excellent, well done, well written and so well read! Now book two and three..

Who knew witches and vampires could be such fun!

Pure indulgence....If you want mystery, magic and romance then look no further, the Discovery of Witches has it all. Brilliantly written and excellently narrated with great characters who's lives your want to live, magic that is just amazingly realistic and a red hot romance that every couple would just love to have. This book is the beginning of a really great journey, one your will not want to end. Enjoy!

great EPIC story

This is a great story I saw the tv show first and that's what made me want to read the series as I always find the book is better than the movie/show. I will say at first I thought the reader sounded alot like the auto reader you get with some apps but she has good accents when speaking as people its just the narration thats abit robotic but i definitely recommend listening/reading

Great Story!!
