Overview
<b>From the #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>A Discovery of Witches</i> and <i>The Black Bird Oracle </i>comes a novel about what it takes to become a vampire—the fourth in the All Souls series.</b><br><br><b>Look for the hit series “A Discovery of Witches,” now streaming on AMC+, Sundance Now, and Shudder!</b><br><br> On the battlefields of the American Revolution, Matthew de Clermont meets Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts, during a moment of political awakening when it seems that the world is on the brink of a brighter future. When Matthew offers him a chance at immortality and a new life free from the restraints of his puritanical upbringing, Marcus seizes the opportunity to become a vampire. But his transformation is not an easy one and the ancient traditions and responsibilities of the de Clermont family clash with Marcus's deeply held beliefs in liberty, equality, and brotherhood.<br><br> Fast-forward to contemporary Paris, where Phoebe Taylor--the young employee at Sotheby's whom Marcus has fallen for--is about to embark on her own journey to immortality. Though the modernized version of the process at first seems uncomplicated, the couple discovers that the challenges facing a human who wishes to be a vampire are no less formidable than they were in the eighteenth century. The shadows that Marcus believed he'd escaped centuries ago may return to haunt them both--forever.<br><br> A passionate love story and a fascinating exploration of the power of tradition and the possibilities not just for change but for revolution, <i>Time's Convert, </i>the fourth books in the All Souls Series channels the supernatural world-building and slow-burning romance that made the previous books instant bestsellers to illuminate a new and vital moment in history, and a love affair that will bridge centuries.
