In present day Oxford, there is another vicious vampire murder. Marcus tracks down the only tangible evidence of Matthew and Diana’s journey to 1590: miniature Elizabethan portraits of the pair. Though his attempts to buy them outright are unsuccessful, he is totally charmed by auction house employee Phoebe Taylor. There is an immediate spark between them and he asks her out. At Sept-Tours, Ysabeau tells Sarah and Em that the miniatures signal that Matthew and Diana arrived in 1590 safely. Gerbert and Knox scheme together to further their search for the Book of Life, and Sophie goes into labour. A worried Sarah asks Em to not do any more higher magic, it’s far too dangerous. Phoebe and Marcus’s date is interrupted by Domenico, who is sniffing around the de Clermonts to find he perpetrator of the vampire murders in Oxford. Marcus and Phoebe nevertheless end up spending the night together. On the outskirts of Sept-Tours, Gerbert confronts Ysabeau about harbouring witches. Em secretly continues to try summoning Rebecca. At Marcus’s flat, Phoebe finds evidence of Marcus’s immortality. He confesses that he is a vampire, but she doesn’t believe him and breaks off their romance. The next day, Baldwin comes to see a dejected Marcus to suggest he takes over as Grand Master of the Knights of Lazarus, since Marcus is failing to make the most of the role. Going to see Ysabeau for advice, Marcus is told that he is a carrier of blood rage – the violent affliction Matthew passed down to him.

In the present day, Domenico finds a brutalised body in Oxford and suspects a mysterious affliction called blood rage has returned. In 1590, Matthew is forced to beg forgiveness from Father Hubbard for executing Tom Caldwell – the sort of conflict he had hoped to avoid. Diana and Matthew are introduced to John Dee by Mary Sidney. They explore his library, hoping to find clues to the whereabouts of the Book of Life. Dee tells them his scryer Edward Kelley stole a valuable book from him and is now hiding in Bohemia, and Matthew and Diana suspect it must be the Book of Life. Goody Alsop teaches Diana about weaving and knots, and Diana is overwhelmed to discover a new world of magic open up to her. In the present, Em practises higher magic to try and reach Diana’s mother, Rebecca, in order to help her niece get closer to the Book. Matthew suspects that Kit has betrayed Diana’s identity to Cecil. A cautious Matthew and Diana meet with Queen Elizabeth I, who accuses Matthew of betraying her by marrying Diana. As a test of loyalty, she orders them to bring Edward Kelley home from the clutches of King Rudolf, so that she can claim the Philosopher’s Stone, the secret to eternal life which Kelley had promised. Before they can leave however, Gallowglass arrives with a message from Matthew’s father Philippe – summoning Matthew and Diana to France.

Matthew and Diana arrive in Bohemia to search for Edward Kelley and the Book of Life, which they believe to be in his possession. They meet Emperor Rudolf II, who immediately expresses a lascivious interest in Diana; she uses his interest to get inside his fabled collection of magical artifacts in search of the Book of Life, but Gallowglass can only find chilling evidence of Rudolf’s morbid fascination with creatures. Matthew’s protective jealousy causes problems as he and Diana are invited on a grouse hunt: pushed to the edge by the Emperor’s advances, Matthew sets his bird on Rudolf’s and inflames the Emperor’s wrath. At dinner, Diana chooses to reveal her power to Rudolph when provoked by the manner in which Rudolf treats a Rabbi, and she magically animates a serpent. Knowing her power is exposed, Matthew, Diana and Gallowglass make a daring bid for the Book,and discover it in the hands of a raving Edward Kelley. He tears three pages out before they can steal it from him and flee, and Matthew realises that the Book is made from the skin of creatures. In the present day, Knox arrives at the Emperor’s lodge, and sees evidence that the Book was once there; he is getting closer.bird on Rudolf’s and inflames the Emperor’s wrath.
