Night's Witness is the third story in Six-Crossed Knot, a series based on the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. The action takes place in February 1591, shortly after Knot of One. Diana and Matthew are living in the Hart and Crown in the Blackfriars district of London. They've welcomed into their household two children. Annie is a teenage witch who is helping Diana, and Jack is an eight-year-old waif Diana rescued from the streets. Adjunct members of their household are the School of Night. This historical group of thinkers and scholars includes Christopher Marlowe, George Chapman, Thomas Harriot, Walter Raleigh, and Henry Percy (9th Earl of Northumberland). Night's Witness features the dynamic between the School of Night and the rest of the household.
