We’re thrilled to host a very exciting pre-publication event with the wonderful Deborah Harkness, ahead of the release of The Black Bird Oracle.
In this exhilarating and highly anticipated fifth novel of the beloved All Souls series, Diana Bishop journeys to the darkest places within herself - and her family history.
The first shadows fall on a Friday afternoon when a single, dying raven lands on the pavement in front of Diana Bishop, harbinger of an invitation that reads, 'It's time you came home, Diana'.
Diana is a witch and scholar; her husband Matthew Clairmont, a vampire. Their intense love for one another awoke the dark powers within her and dissolved the Covenant between the three species - Witch, Daemon and Vampire - that live alongside humans. Now, the governing Congregation has decided it must test the magical powers of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Becca. Concerned with their safety, Diana decides to forge a different path for her family's future and travels to Ravenswood, the Proctor family home.
There, Diana begins a new era, becoming her great aunt Gwyneth's pupil in higher magic. It's time to confront her family's past - and her own, inescapable desire for greater power.
Number One bestselling author Deborah Harkness returns to her beloved All Souls world with a triumphant novel that sweeps back to the Salem Panic and illuminates Diana's family history in new and thrilling ways.
Deborah will be signing after the event, a maximum of two books per person. We will have copies of Deborah’s previous books available for purchase on the night.
Please note: this is a special pre-publication event, where ticketholders will receive a pre-signed bookplate and exclusive goodie bag on the night. Your ticket includes a copy of The Black Bird Oracle (RRP. £25) which will be posted to ticketholders after 16th July, when the book is released. Please note, this is UK postage only.
