Turbo AI Book Summaries

In A Discovery of Witches, historian and reluctant witch Diana Bishop summons the long-lost manuscript Ashmole 782 from Oxford’s Bodleian Library, shattering the fragile peace among creatures and drawing the attention of Matthew Clairmont, a brilliant geneticist and centuries-old vampire who has pursued the book for ages. Bound by a dangerous alliance that blazes into love, they fight to guard the manuscript from the Congregation of witches, daemons, and vampires who believe it holds the secrets to their origin and extinction; as enemies close in, Diana unleashes the power she long suppressed and confronts the mystery of her parents’ murders, with their freedom—and the fate of all creatures—at stake.
