« Il est temps de rentrer. » Quand un corbeau utilise sa fille de six ans pour lui transmettre ce message, Diana comprend qu'une
prophétie qui la dépasse est en marche. Un pressentiment conforté lorsqu'elle reçoit, le même jour, une lettre au contenu sinistrement
similaire de Gwyneth Proctor, la grand-tante dont elle ignorait jusque-là l'existence.
Alors que la Congrégation s'intéresse d'un peu trop près aux pouvoirs de ses enfants, Diana accepte l'étrange invitation à Ravenswood, la
terre sacrée des Proctor. Sorcière puissante, Gwyneth est peut-être la seule personne qui pourrait l'aider à les protéger.
Mais la Congrégation et les sombres secrets des Proctor ne sont pas les seuls obstacles qui se dressent sur son chemin. Pour accéder à
une magie supérieure et éviter que l'histoire familiale se répète, Diana va devoir se libérer de ses peurs et accepter sa soif de pouvoir... -

Diana Bishop journeys to the darkest places within herself - and her family history - in the highly anticipated fifth novel of the beloved Number One Sunday Times bestselling All Souls series.
Deborah Harkness first introduced the world to Diana Bishop, Oxford scholar and witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clairmont in A Discovery of Witches. Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, these two other-worldly beings found themselves at the centre of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. Since then, they have fallen in love, travelled to Elizabethan England, dissolved the Covenant between the three species, and awoken the dark powers within Diana''s family line.
Now, Diana and Matthew receive a formal demand from the Congregation: They must test the magic of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Rebecca. Concerned with their safety and desperate to avoid the same fate that led her parents to spellbind her, Diana decides to forge a different path for her family''s future and answers a message from a great-aunt she never knew existed, Gwyneth Proctor, whose invitation simply reads: It''s time you came home, Diana.
On the hallowed ground of Ravenswood, the Proctor family home, and under the tutelage of Gwyneth, a talented witch grounded in higher magic, a new era begins for Diana: a confrontation with her family''s dark past, and a reckoning for her own desire for even greater power - if she can let go, finally, of her fear of wielding it. -
