A Discovery Of Witches 10-31-14 pages 0-13, chapter one.

     You guys have no idea how much I missed reading something with an actual plot.
     Also Witches for Halloween. Pure ironic incident.

     In Oxford University is a witch of the name Diana Bishop, from two very long powerful lines of witchcraft. Diana however, wants nothing to do with magic or sorcery or anything of the kind. Her parents raised her with magic, and sometimes it scared her. They went around the world studying artifacts, and once went to an exhibition to Africa and never came back.

     She's tried to distance her self from it, from her family name, and stop herself from using it by accident. When she was 16 she entered collage and became affiliated in the theatrical arts, where she ended up becoming a little more than in character. Her appearance and actions changed to suit her roles in and out of the scenes, and she took other cast members with her. After such unfortunate happenings she moved onto science, and has since started to try and translate old text of alchemy into modern sense and formulas.

     Since then she has come across and ancient lost book called the Ashmole 782, a book sealed with magic and images that tempt her to touch so she can sense their history and understand more. She takes a few notes on it, and apprehensively banishes it back to the stacks. Nothing has quite happened yet, but the inside sleeve says this occurrence causes "...a fantastical underworld stirring." so that's is going to be quite exciting!
