Daemons Domain is the brainchild of three overachieving women who met on line in 2012 because of a shared passion for a book – A Discovery of Witches. It quickly grew into a friendship and an unhealthy obsession with all things de Clermont. After following the bread crumbs through history and the fantastical world that Deborah Harkness has created for five years, they decided to invite the world into their personal chat box overflowing with historical research, speculation and flights of fancy. Their podcast, Daemons Discuss, is their popular fortnightly deep dive into the All Souls Universe. Sometimes serious. Sometimes irreverent. Occasionally ridiculous. Always All Souls.
