The premise
Closet witch Diana Bishop and centuries-old vampire Matthew Clairmont are drawn into a deadly mystery and forbidden romance when a magical book shows up in an Oxford library.
Horror Vault's take
When Oxford scholar Diana Bishop—a witch who has long suppressed her own powers—stumbles upon a long-lost enchanted manuscript, she unwittingly sets off a chain of dangerous events that draws every supernatural faction out of the shadows. Centuries-old vampire Matthew Clairmont enters her world under complicated circumstances, and what begins as an uneasy alliance deepens into a romance that breaks every rule their world has set. With witches, vampires, and demons all vying for the book's secrets, Diana must reckon with a heritage she has spent her life avoiding. Lush British locations and a slow-burn tension make this adaptation of Deborah Harkness's bestselling novel a brooding, romantic thriller.
