Excerpt of Upcoming Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy 2#)
This is a little excerpt from the upcoming book and right now the only part of the upcoming novel that has been released.
"My eyes adjusted to the dim light as I surveyed the room. A substantial bed, small table, narrow benches, and a single chair came into focus. Through the carved uprights supporting the bed's canopy I spied a doorframe that connected this chamber to another room. Light spilled from it onto the coverlet and floor in a misshapen golden rectangle. The walls were covered with the linen-fold panelling that I remembered from the few times I'd visited Matthew's home in present-day Woodstock. Elaborately herringboned bricks lined the chimney, their outlines sharpened by the fire's flames. They looked right, too. Such ornate brickwork would appeal to the stonemason Matthew had once been. Tipping my head back, I saw the ceiling - thickly plastered, coffered into squares, with a splashy red-and-white Tudor rose picked out in gilt in each recess.
'The roses were obligatory when the house was built,' Matthew commented drily. 'I can't stand them. We'll paint them all white at the first opportunity.'
My gaze returned to my husband and I smiled with sudden excitement. 'I really did it. I didn't mess it up, or take us somewhere else like Monticello, or-'
'No,' he said with an answering smile, 'you did beautifully. Welcome to Elizabethan England...'"

Cant wait for this to be released I hope it is just as long as the first.

New Book: Shadow of night (All Souls Trilogy #3) by Deborah Harkness
This is the sequel to the wonderful first book A discovery of witches -which for all those people who have not read it GO AND READ THAT BOOK- by Deborah Harkness.
The book is called Shadow of night.
Release Date: 10th july 2012
PLOT: Shortly after Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont timewalk to London, 1590, they discover that the past may not provide a safe haven after all. Reclaiming his former identity as poet and spy Matthew Roydon, the vampire falls back in step with a group of radicals known as the School of Night who share dangerous ideas about God, science, and man. Many of his friends are unruly daemonsn - the creative minds of the age who walk the fine line between genius and madness - including playwright Christopher Marlowe and mathematician Thomas Harriot. Matthew, himself, is expected to continue to spy for Queen Elizabeth, which puts him in close contact with London's cutthroat underworld.
Together, Matthew and Diana scour the bookstalls and alchemical laboratories of London where they follow the elusive trail of Ashmole 782 - and search for the witch who will teach Diana to control her powers.
