Want more actual magic and less royal feuding and bloody battles? Try A Discovery of Witches, based on Deborah Harkness's book trilogy of the same name, which combines academic nerdiness with epic romance, convoluted mysteries, and time-twisted fantasy. A modern-day professor unwittingly begins to unravel an ancient magical conspiracy when she stumbles across an old text, attracting the attention of a geneticist who also happens to be a vampire. The pair must work together to protect the secrets they discover from forces of evil, all while slowly falling in love with each other despite the centuries-old enmity between witches and vampires.
