Time's convert

Part of the All Souls series, this novel follows Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts who meets the vampire Matthew de Clermont on the battlefields of the American Revolution and accepts an offer of immortality. The narrative braids together his transformation and its clashes with the de Clermont family's ancient traditions against a contemporary storyline in Paris and London, where Marcus's relationship with Phoebe Taylor, a Sotheby's employee who decides to become a vampire herself, brings its own challenges. The book explores tradition, change, and what it takes to become a vampire across two eras.
