Book Summary
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A
Discovery of Witches, a novel about what it takes to
become a vampire.
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.
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.
A passionate
love story and a fascinating exploration of the power of
tradition and the possibilities not just for change but for
revolution, Time's Convert channels the supernatural
world-building and slow-burning romance that made the All
Souls Trilogy instant bestsellers to illuminate a new and
vital moment in history, and a love affair that will bridge
centuries.
