Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research.
Written by a real history professor, the academic setting in this novel feels incredibly authentic. It blends the tropes of Dark Academia (libraries, secrets, old manuscripts) with a vampire/witch romance. While it leans heavily into the romance genre, the first half of the book is a love letter to the research process and the smell of old books. Cozy AF!
