Die Historikerin Diana Bishop (Teresa Palmer) ist eine Hexe, die nichts mit ihrer übernatürlichen Seite zu tun haben möchte. Zumindest bis sie auf ein verzaubertes Manuskript stößt, welches sie zurück in die übernatürliche Welt wirft, wo sie bald mit dem 1.500 Jahre alten Vampir und Naturwissenschaftler Matthew Clairmont (Matthew Goode) zu arbeiten beginnt. Die zwischen ihnen aufblühende Romanze stellt jedoch den ultimativen Tabubruch dar und könnte den fragilen Frieden zwischen Menschen und magischen Wesen gefährden.
Brilliant historian Diana Bishop is a witch denying her own heritage. But when she unexpectedly calls up an ancient, bewitched manuscript from Oxford's Bodleian library, one that was thought by the creatures to be lost and could answer the mysteries of their existence, she finds herself thrown into the heart of a dangerous mystery – and into the path of the enigmatic geneticist and vampire Matthew Clairmont. Matthew is driven to solve the looming threat of the creatures' decline and extinction, but their unlikely alliance to find the book before it falls into the wrong hands – and their deepening relationship – threatens to violate age-old taboos and shake the fragile peace that exists between the species.
