What Season 2 of A Discovery of Witches

Season 2 opens with Diana and Matthew hiding in Elizabethan London, far from their own era. She needs to find a powerful witch who can teach her to master her magic, and the two of them follow the trail of the Book of Life. But Diana's magic begins to twist and turn dark, and Matthew must return to the dangerous life he led more than four centuries ago. Both carry fears and jealousy they must face if they want to stay together. In the present, Diana's aunts, Sarah and Em, take refuge at Sept-Tours with Ysabeau de Clermont, a witch hunter. In Oxford, Marcus and Miriam protect Nathaniel and Sophie, whose pregnancy is progressing.
