*BREAKING NEWS*

We have some very exciting, breaking news this morning…Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of the All Souls trilogy, Deborah Harkness, announces a new book today.

The new novel, Time’s Convert, explores what it is to be a vampire and will lead on from the major Sky TV series of A Discovery of Witches, launching later this year.

Set in contemporary Paris and London, and the American colonies during the upheaval and unrest that exploded into the Revolutionary War, a sweeping story that braids together the past and present.

On the battlefields of the American Revolution, Matthew de Clermont meets Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts, during a moment of political awakening when it seems that the world is on the brink of a brighter future. When Matthew offers him a chance at immortality and a new life, free from the restraints of his puritanical upbringing, Marcus seizes the opportunity to become a vampire. But his transformation is not an easy one and the ancient traditions and responsibilities of the de Clermont family clash with Marcus’s deeply held beliefs in liberty, equality, and brotherhood.

Fast forward to contemporary London, where Marcus has fallen for Phoebe Taylor, a young employee at Sotheby’s. She decides to become a vampire, too, and though the process at first seems uncomplicated, the couple discovers that the challenges facing a human who wishes to be a vampire are no less formidable in the modern world than they were in the 18th century. The shadows that Marcus believed he’d escaped centuries ago may return to haunt them both – forever.

A passionate love story and a fascinating exploration of the power of tradition and the possibilities for change, Time’s Convert will delight fans of the All Souls trilogy and all readers of magic, the supernatural, and romance.

And if that wasn’t enough…there’s also a major SKY TV series coming in the autumn

It will be a huge year for Deborah Harkness as, along with the new book launching in September, we will see the the first book in the All Souls trilogy, A Discovery of Witches, adapted for Sky 1 and Now TV starring Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey) and Teresa Palmer (Hacksaw Ridge) as well as Alex Kingston, Trevor Eve, Lindsay Duncan, Owen Teale and Louise Brealey.

The Sky Original production began shooting with production company Bad Wolf in September on location in Wales, Oxford and Venice and is due to air later this year.
