Free Audio Book : The Black Bird Oracle (All Souls Series 5), By Deborah Harkness

Deborah Harkness introduced readers to Diana Bishop, an Oxford scholar and witch, and Matthew de Clermont, a vampire geneticist, in A Discovery of Witches. Drawn together despite ancient prohibitions, they found themselves at the heart of a quest for the lost, magical manuscript, Ashmole 782. Since then, their journey has taken them to Elizabethan England, dismantled the Covenant between species, and revealed the dark powers within Diana’s lineage.

Now, the Congregation demands that Diana and Matthew test the magic of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Rebecca. To protect them and avoid repeating her parents' fate, Diana chooses a different path. She responds to a message from a great-aunt she never knew, Gwyneth Proctor, whose invitation reads: It’s time you came home, Diana.

At the Proctor family home, Ravenswood, under Gwyneth’s guidance, Diana confronts her family's dark past and her own desire for greater power. This new chapter in her life challenges her to embrace her abilities fully.

In this magnificent novel, Deborah Harkness expands the beloved All Souls universe with new magic and secrets, leading Diana to pivotal moments in the series.
