Fans of The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices can get to know warlock Magnus Bane like never before in this collection of New York Times bestselling tales, in print for the first time with an exclusive new story and illustrated material.
This collection of eleven short stories illuminates the life of the enigmatic Magnus Bane, whose alluring personality, flamboyant style, and sharp wit populate the pages of the #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices.
Originally released one-by-one as e-only short stories by Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson, and Sarah Rees Brennan, this compilation presents all ten together in print for the first time and includes a never-before-seen eleventh tale, as well as new illustrated material.
“Magnus, you were trying to flirt with your own plate.”
“I’m a very open-minded sort of fellow!”
THIS HAS BEEN SO GOOD !.
The truth is that re-reading on a character for whom I have so much love, like Magnus, has been a pleasure.
I’ve always been very curious to know more about the life of this eccentric character , who has always been present in the life of the Shadowhunters both The Mortal Instruments saga, as in the trilogy the infernal devices, which as you know, I love with all my heart :).
So, for me has been incredible that in these short stories the writers have given me the possibility to not only revive to Bane , but also to ancient characters of the sagas that I miss so much !. It was a beautiful reading full of magic, adventure and beautiful quotes.
“The universe could be a wondrous thing. The universe had out did herself. The universe would be getting flowers.”

A Book. A Thought. 
I absolutely love Magnus Bane (he’s one of my favourite characters in the Shadowhunter Universe) and I loved all of these stories. I first read them when they were released separately in e-book format but I couldn’t resist having the hardback bind up as well, especially since there was the added voice-mail messages between Magnus and Alec at the back of the book. I need to re-read it soon!
