As punishment, Franek mocks and beats Eliezer’s father until Eliezer eventually gives up. On his father’s advice, Eliezer refuses to yield the tooth. Franek’s desire for the gold makes him vicious and cruel. Woods of the Los Angeles Times noted "Harkness' ambitious melding of scientific and historical detail is inventive and brings surprising depth to such real-life societal scourges as racial purity and miscegenation." However, Woods also criticised a noticeable lack of continuity between previous novels in the series, stating "characters occasionally fail to acknowledge each other despite interactions in previous novels, and the date of an infamous attempt to steal the British crown jewels is off by a few hundred years. When Franek, the prison foreman, notices Eliezer’s gold crown, he demands it. This world of female warriors and leaders feels natural, and while there is a chosen one aspect to the tale, its far from the main point. The Book of Life was met with generally positive reviews from literary critics. It had originally been drawn up based on fear and stereotypes the old generation held. One night while Azoth is underneath a local tavern scrounging for coins he overhears a confrontation. They make their living stealing money to buy food and pay Rat, the Guild Fist, an enforcer who beats anyone who doesn't pay. Matthew's genetics work progresses, with the help of a Yale scientist, and they are able to remove the charter of Covenant, meaning inter-species marriage is possible. Azoth is an orphan who lives in the Warrens, the worst part of Cenaria. They find the black sheep of the family, Benjamin, Matthew's disavowed son and dispose of him. Diana is now a member of the de Clermont family. Having returned from their refuge in 16th century London to find a family member dead, Diana and Matthew embark on a mission of revenge, seeking the final pages of the Book of Life, and bringing justice to witches and vampires that have wronged them. As the sequel to the 2012 bestseller, Shadow of Night, it follows the final steps in the story of Diana Bishop, a historian who comes from a long line of witches, and Matthew Clairmont, a long-lived vampire, as they unlock the secrets of an ancient manuscript. John Millington Synge’s classic In the Shadow of the Glen is a dark, poetic comedy, a meditation on time, loneliness, and personal freedom.The Book of Life is a 2014 fantasy novel by American scholar Deborah Harkness, the third book in the All Souls trilogy.

Dan Burke, aged and cranky, has died suddenly, but not before laying a curse on his younger wife, Nora, that no one is to touch his body or prepare him for laying out except his sister, who lives an inconvenient distance away. It is truly a dark and stormy night in County Wicklow when a Tramp, seeking shelter from the wind and rain, knocks on the door of the loneliest cottage in Glen Malure, and finds himself at an impromptu wake.
