About this listen

 From the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches, now a major Sky TV series, a novel about what it takes to become a vampire.

From human to vampire ...

Marcus Whitmore was made a vampire in the eighteenth century. Over two hundred years later, he finds himself in love with Phoebe Taylor, a human who decides to become a vampire herself.

But her transformation will prove as challenging now as it was for Marcus when he first encountered Matthew de Clermont, his sire.

While Phoebe is secreted away, Marcus relives his own journey from the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, through the treachery of the French Revolution to a bloody finale in New Orleans. His belief in liberty, equality and brotherhood challenged at every stage by the patriarchy of the de Clermonts.

What will he and Phoebe discover in one another when they are finally reunited at Les Revenants, beneath the watchful gaze of Matthew and his wife, Diana Bishop?

Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Deborah Harkness returns to the spellbinding world she created in A Discovery of Witches and, through the prism of an unconventional love story, explores the power of tradition and the endless possibilities for change.

Critic reviews

What a rich, thrilling and educational tale it is... A captivating and romantic ripping yarn (E L James)
Intelligent and off-the-wall...irresistible to Twilight fans
Spellbinding... Unputdownable
This is a glorious, finely-wrought gem of a book: intelligent, thoughtful, intricate... I could lose myself in here and never want to come out: what better accolade can there be? ...Utterly enchanting on every level (Manda Scott)
A bubbling cauldron of illicit desire... all the ingredients for an assured saga that blends romance with fantasy
A vast, sexy, historical romp of a novel. There's no doubting Harkness's vivid imagination
An inventive addition to the supernatural craze... has exciting amounts of spells, kisses and battles, and is recounted with enchanting, page-turning panache
An extraordinary achievement... An intelligently written vampire romance set against a thrilling backdrop of magic, secret manuscripts and dangerous desire
Deborah Harkness is a creative genius. She has taken a genre that is saturated with vampires, witches and daemons and has created something unique, with its own rich history and mythology that draws you into her world with captivating storytelling
A creative tour de force
I do wish people would stop comparing this series to Twilight. It is just so much better
Once again Harkness has managed to create a world filled with not only love and romance but action and history, with characters you can love and hate, but always understand an relate to. This is an unforgettable book, with brilliant characters

I was half expecting a change in narrator after listening to the “encyclopaedia “ about All Souls. I wasn’t so struck on the previous narrator with the odd American pronounciatio of certain words but she was much better than the new!
When you then add in that this is not a continuation of the old story it gets more disappointing. It’s a disjointed explanation of the history of one character and the transformation of another - with the odd chapter on the main characters from the earlier books as what feels like a sop to fans of that series. None of it is well done enough to suspend disbelief as is necessary in a book like this. Pity as I’ve enjoyed the others...

Disappointing

Story is good, however if the narrator is going to change between books it’s very disappointing. All the characters have changed because audible used a different narrator to the other 3 books, real shame. Please change this auditable!

I haven’t listened to the whole book because I can’t get onboard with the new reader... I’ve loved the all souls trilogy novels and audio books. I loved reading Times Convert but I do not like listening to it. The french speaking parts are worse. Very grating. Very Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs

Why has the narrator changed?

For fans of All Souls Trilogy this follows on the story one year on. There are three main story lines 1) the life and trails associated with raising two special children in the Bishop - Clairmont house (my favourite as it’s quite funny!). 2) Historic flashbacks to Marcus’ human life and meeting Matthew, fabulous American history. And 3) Phoebe’s journey of change from a human to vampire. The performance by Saskia Maarleveld, isn’t great, she speaks very quickly (so much so that you can change the speed slightly slower and it still makes sense!) and her accents are poor...(sorry)!

Sadly the performance lets this down

Not quite as good as the other books but the miss pronunciation made it worse

Good book spoiled by bad narration
