Magnus Bane leverages his alliances with Downworlders and Shadowhunters on a venture to Victorian London. One of ten adventures in The Bane Chronicles. When immortal warlock Magnus Bane attends preliminary peace talks between the Shadowhunters and the Downworlders in Victorian London, he is charmed by two very different people: the vampire Camille Belcourt and the young Shadowhunter, Edmund Herondale. Will winning hearts mean choosing sides? This standalone e-only short story illuminates the life of the enigmatic Magnus Bane, whose alluring personality populates the pages of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices. This story in The Bane Chronicles, Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale, is written by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan.

“I was born to be a warrior, and I was born to be with her.”

Wren Hardwick

So in this book you see a lot more of the history between Shadowhunters and the Downworlders. They are trying to make peace between the two groups but they both don’t respect the other and see them as beneath them. 

Everything just gets REALLY blown up between the two parties.

The character Camille Belcourt is introduced in this book and is charming our beloved warlock. Also, we see a lineage in the Herondale family. 



I love learning more about Magnus’ past though. It explains a lot more of his personality and why he does the things that he does. He is probably the best character that Clare has wrote honestly.

4.5/5
Wow, wow, wow di bene in meglio *w*. Fin'ora questa è la mia preferita, si soprattutto per la location (London <3) ma anche per il bel Edmund Herondale **.
E' stato bello vedere come si siano conosciuti i genitori di Will :). Poi tutte le varie controversie tra Shadowhunters e nascosti, mi sembrava di riprendere la saga da capo :3. Con questa novella ho capito quanto mi sia mancato questo mondo, da qui in avanti può solo andare ancora meglio <3
