Shadow of Night

''Shadow of Night'' is a 2012 historical-fantasy novel by American scholar Deborah Harkness, the second book in the ''All Souls'' trilogy. As the sequel to the 2011 bestseller, ''A Discovery of Witches'', it follows the story of Diana Bishop, a historian who comes from a long line of witches, and Matthew Clairmont, a long-lived vampire, as they unlock the secrets of an ancient manuscript. Diana and Matthew travel back in time to 16th century London during the Elizabethan era.
The book received generally mixed feedback from literary critics. Like its predecessor, ''Shadow of Night'', it was praised for its blend of history and fantasy. Some critics felt that the book had too many secondary characters and plot elements. Harkness had previously studied England's Tudor period, publishing a non-fiction book about Elizabethan jewels.
''Shadow of Night'' was first published in hardcover on July 10, 2012 by Viking Press, becoming a ''New York Times'' Best Seller upon its release. It has also been released as an ebook. ''Shadow of Night'' is followed by "The Book of Life", the final installment of the ''All Souls'' trilogy, was released on July 15, 2014.
==Background==
In 2011, ''A Discovery of Witches'' was published as the first installment in the ''All Souls Trilogy'', debuting at number two on the ''New York Times'' Best Seller list. Deborah Harkness began writing the ''All Souls Trilogy'' as a "thought experiment" after noticing the popularity of vampire fiction. Harkness has studied magic and the occult since 1983, which provided much of the inspiration for the series. Harkness is a respected historian of science and an expert on the Elizabethan era, which gave her the inspiration for the 16th century setting of ''Shadow of Night''. Much of the research for ''Shadow of Night'' came from Harkness' dissertation on John Dee.
