About this listen
'The Black Bird Oracle deftly explores the nexus of memory, history, and parenthood - the magic, pain, and promises mothers pass onto their children. Harkness's lush prose makes a fantastical world real enough to touch' JODI PICOULT
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.
The first shadows fall on a Friday afternoon when a single, dying raven lands on the pavement in front of Diana Bishop, harbinger of an invitation that reads, 'It's time you came home, Diana'.
Diana is a witch and scholar; her husband Matthew Clairmont, a vampire. Their intense love for one another awoke the dark powers within her and dissolved the Covenant between the three species - Witch, Daemon and Vampire - that live alongside humans. Now, the governing Congregation has decided it must test the magical powers of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Becca. Concerned with their safety, Diana decides to forge a different path for her family's future and travels to Ravenswood, the Proctor family home.
There, Diana begins a new era, becoming her great aunt Gwyneth's pupil in higher magic. It's time to confront her family's past - and her own, inescapable desire for greater power.
Number One bestselling author Deborah Harkness returns to her beloved All Souls world with a triumphant novel that sweeps back to the Salem Panic and illuminates Diana's family history in new and thrilling ways.©2024 Deborah Harkness (P)2024 Penguin Audio

Long awaited.
Listening to this book was like catching up with friends and family after a very long absence - joyous and occasionally tearful.
Deborah Harkness delivers an exciting and unexpected tale.. book 5 does not disappoint. I must point out that there are a few continuity issues which are forgiven for having a less needy Matthew (sigh).
Jennifer Ikeda’s performance is as polished and delicious as ever.

Can’t wait for our next instalment!!
As expected I was not disappointed with our discovery of current events within our favourite witch / vampire lives and coming up to speed with the twins developments,as ever beautifully written by Ms Harkness and wonderfully narrated as ever! So sad it’s finished I am going back to the beginning with book 1 and working my way though again as I toil in the veg patch
