Together we lifted our feet and stepped into the unknown.
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 daemons - 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.
