Dawn

Dawn asked Deborah Harkness:

I haven't read the third book yet (but it's next on my pile!), so I don't know if you've answered this question in it. At the end of the second book, Diana and Michael come back to the present where time has kept passing while they were in the past. If Diana can time travel, why couldn't she just travel back to the instant they left for the past?

Deborah Harkness It's not always that easy to get to a very precise moment in time. Diana and Matthew were lucky going back to 1590--maybe beginner's luck! But as we know, moving into the future is more difficult and requires complicated magic. Lots can go wrong!

Jul asked Deborah Harkness:

I don't know if you have answered this question or not, but since it's not in the most recent questions I'm going to ask--I have just been watching the first "season" of A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES. Will there be additional seasons completing the trilogy?

Sara

Sara asked Deborah Harkness:

I am curious about why you chose to write Diana's POV in first person but not Matthew. Was there any specific reason for that?

Brandy

Brandy asked Deborah Harkness:

In SoN's tilt yard scene, Louisa tells Hancock that Diana will bring down the de Clermonts, fulfilling Gerbert's ancient prophecy to Ysabeau. "Beware the witch with the blood of the lion and the wolf, for with it she shall destroy the children of the night." This is never mentioned again. I understand the first part, but what is the significance/intent of "...she shall destroy the children of the night?"
