Description

From the No. 1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Deborah Harkness comes THE BLACK BIRD ORACLE, the hotly anticipated new novel in the All Souls series.

Diana and Matthew's epic tale continues as Diana meets her father's family for the first time, the Proctors of Ipswich, Massachusetts.

WE KNOW THE BISHOPS. IT'S FINALLY TIME TO MEET THE PROCTORS.

----

'I thought I knew all about magic. Then Shadow found me, and I discovered how much there was still to learn.'

The first shadows fall on a Friday afternoon as Diana Bishop and her husband, Matthew Clairmont, are preparing to spend the summer in Woodstock with their seven-year-old twins, Becca and Pip. A single raven lands, dead, on the pavement in front of Becca, carrying a message for Diana - it's time to meet her father's family.

After a lifetime of believing the Proctors are dead, Diana's fury is real. But her curiosity is greater and so, Diana travels instead to Ravenswood, Massachusetts to find Gwyneth Proctor.

There, Diana feels the magic pulsing, she is ready to become a pupil - to walk the Dark Path and understand the relationship between Light, Darkness and the shadows that lie between. In Ravenswood, a new era of Higher magic will begin . . .

Number One bestselling author Deborah Harkness returns to her 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. The spells fly from the page and will enchant newcomers and devoted fans alike.
