The Black Bird Oracle

Beskrivelse

The Black Bird Oracle follows Diana Bishop as she delves deep into her own inner darkness and uncovers secrets from her family’s past. This fifth installment in the beloved All Souls series continues the journey of Diana, a witch and scholar, and Matthew, a vampire geneticist, as they face new challenges and mysteries.

A powerful exploration of family legacy, magic, and self-discovery.

Deborah Harkness brings us back to Diana Bishop, the Oxford scholar and witch first introduced in A Discovery of Witches, alongside Matthew de Clairmont, a vampire geneticist. Their bond defies ancient taboos, placing them at the heart of a struggle over the enchanted manuscript Ashmole 782.

Since then, their love has deepened, taking them through Elizabethan England, dismantling the Covenant that once divided witches, vampires, and daemons, and awakening potent magic within Diana’s lineage.

Now, Diana and Matthew face a new challenge: the Congregation demands their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Rebecca, undergo magical testing. Worried for her children’s safety and determined to avoid repeating the past that trapped her parents in spellbinding, Diana chooses a new path.

She responds to a mysterious message from a great-aunt she never knew-Gwyneth Proctor. The invitation is simple yet compelling: “It’s time you came home, Diana.” At Ravenswood, the Proctor family estate, under Gwyneth’s guidance-a gifted witch skilled in higher magic-Diana embarks on a new chapter.

This journey brings her face to face with her family’s shadowy history and forces her to confront her own hunger for power, challenging her to overcome the fear that has long held her back from embracing her true magical potential.
