SHADOW OF NIGHT BOOK SUMMARY SERIES

вЂњRemember when Blackfriars Bess demanded we call her Aphrodite before she would let us-вЂќ вЂњIs Diana her real name, or was it adopted to enhance her allure among customers? Perhaps a baring of her right breast, or a bow and arrow, is in order,вЂќ Marlowe suggested, picking up a sheet of paper. Marlowe, seemingly intent on the correspondence, failed to recognize it and smirked. вЂњIt is remarkable, Kit, how easily you squander affection,вЂќ Matthew drawled, though there was a note of warning in his tone. Wherever did you find the time to secure her services?вЂќ вЂњAccording to the Old FoxвЂ™s latest, it was business rather than lust that took you to the north. This one is a positive Amazon,вЂќ Kit sniffed, looking over his shoulder at the disordered drifts of paper that covered the surface of the table. Most of your whores are more delicate and appealing, Matthew. вЂњI had no idea there was a brothel in Woodstock that specialized in over-tall women. I had suspected it back in Madison when my fingers had traveled over his inscription in MatthewвЂ™s copy of Doctor Faustus. Marlowe was indeed in love with my husband. The young manвЂ™s scorn was evident, his jealousy better hidden. His attention crawled from my toes to the top of my head.

MatthewвЂ™s introduction provided Marlowe with an opportunity to inspect me more openly. вЂњDiana, this is my dear friend Christopher Marlowe.вЂќ вЂњGeorge is welcome to whatever I have, Kit.вЂќ Matthew kept his eyes on the young man, his face expressionless as he drew our intertwined fingers to his mouth. He is still without a patron and hasnвЂ™t a farthing to his name.вЂќ George has been here for some time, of course, eating your food and reading your books. Take your fill of her before the others arrive, if you must. вЂњGently, Kit,вЂќ Matthew said with a scowl. I looked over my shoulder, expecting to see some hideous work of art. вЂњWherever did you find that?вЂќ Marlowe pointed, his voice dripping with contempt. Had any of his plays been performed in 1590? How old was he? Younger than Matthew and I, certainly. What little information I once knew about him flew from my mind now that he was standing before me. I suppressed an urge to rush at one of EnglandвЂ™s greatest playwrights and shake his hand before peppering him with questions. вЂњWhy no beard? Have you been ill?вЂќ MarloweвЂ™s eyes flickered when they spotted me, nudging me with the insistent pressure that marked him unmistakably as a daemon. 'A captivating and romantic ripping yarn,'** Shadow of NightВ confirms Deborah Harkness as a master storyteller, able to cast an 'addictive tale of magic, mayhem and two lovers.'** Together they find they must embark on a very different - and vastly more dangerous - journey. As the search for Ashmole 782-the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit-deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them.

Picking up from A Discovery of Witches' cliffhanger ending, Shadow of NightВ takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night.
