Cover release: Shadow of Night af Deborah Harkness

A discovery of Witches (Heksenat på dansk) var en af de bedste bøger jeg læste i 2011, så jeg glæder mig helt vildt til, at toeren udkommer. Der er noget tid endnu, men coversne er blevet frigivet, så lookie look:

Etteren blev også udgivet med to covers, og selvfølgelig skal jeg selv have den udgave, som passer til den udgave jeg har af etteren. Det er nummer to af ovenstående covers, som gerne skulle hjem og pynte på min reol ved udgivelsen, og jeg er sikker på, at den kommer til at passe helt fint ind. =)

Her er lige en kort tekst om første bog i serien, til de af jer, som endnu ikke har læst den:

A richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together.

Deep in the stacks of Oxford’s Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. Diana has stumbled upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries-and she is the only creature who can break its spell.

Debut novelist Deborah Harkness has crafted a mesmerizing and addictive read, equal parts history and magic, romance and suspense. Diana is a bold heroine who meets her equal in vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont, and gradually warms up to him as their alliance deepens into an intimacy that violates age-old taboos. This smart, sophisticated story harks back to the novels of Anne Rice, but it is as contemporary and sensual as the Twilight series-with an extra serving of historical realism.
