Time's Convert
by Deborah Harkness
Book 4 in All Souls
This is the All Souls book for readers who wanted Marcus and Phoebe's story to breathe. It is quieter than the original trilogy, but the vampire-conversion arc, Revolutionary War backstory, and de Clermont family politics make it a solid return to Harkness's supernatural world.
