Wow, once again, a Teaser from a brand new book - That's three weeks in a row, folks!  I'm only on chapter three of this one, but so far I'm quite enjoying it.  In this Teaser, Matthew the Vampire sneaks into the witch's apartment to see if she's hiding this ancient manuscript.  I don't know why he wants it yet, but he certainly seems to think she must have it!


The Tease:

 "Matthew had to know if Ashmole 782 was still in Bishop's possession.  He hadn't been able to search her desk at the library, but a quick glance had suggested that it wasn't among the manuscripts she'd been consulting today.  Still, there was no chance that a witch - a Bishop - would have let the volume slip through her fingers."

 -A Discovery of Witches, by Deborah Harkness
