Shadow of Night is a 2012 historical-fantasy novel by American scholar Deborah Harkness, the second book in the All Souls trilogy. As the sequel to the 2011 bestseller A Discovery of Witches, it follows the story of Diana Bishop, a historian who comes from a long line of witches, and Matthew Clairmont, a long-lived vampire as they unlock the secrets of an ancient manuscript. Diana and Matthew travel back in time to 16th century London during the Elizabethan era.

The book received mostly positive feedback from literary critics. Like its predecessor, Shadow of Night was praised for its blend of history with fantasy. Harkness had previously studied England's Tudor period, publishing a non-fiction book about Elizabethan jewels.

Shadow of Night was first published in hardcover on July 10, 2012 by Penguin Books, becoming a New York Times Best Seller upon its release. It has also been released as an ebook. Shadow of Night will be followed by a yet-to-be-titled final installment in the All Souls trilogy in 2013.
