Summary:

Alec Lightwood wasn’t used to doing things for himself. He had grown up looking after his siblings and learning how to be the perfect Shadowhunter: never had he considered even the idea of falling in love.

For over a century, Magnus Bane had closed himself off to feeling anything for man or woman. After a particularly nasty break up, he worried that opening his heart up again would result in nothing but another heartbreak.

When the two of them meet at a mundane coffee shop, it’s a rush of feelings that Alec has never felt before, and that Magnus had thought he would never feel again. The only problem? Both think the other is a mundane, and for centuries, Downworlders and Shadowhunters have been forbidden from falling in love.

Twitter Account

I’ve never had huge success on Twitter – mostly because I don’t have much experience with it – but I created an account for this blog yesterday.

Running the blog will always come first, so I can’t promise that it will always be active.

At this point it will only be used to help highlight events, but I may use it in the future for other things. That being said, if you’re interested please feel free to follow by clicking here.

He was a soldier. War wasn’t frightening to him. Blood and destruction was woven into his heart, into the fabric of who he was. The Angels had built them in their image – as warriors, protectors. War didn’t frighten him. Living did. But for Magnus? He was willing to try.

Summary:

Alec and Magnus need to hold the line so that the others have time to complete their mission without Valentine’s army on them. Alec has never really enjoyed fighting, but damn, if he doesn’t love watching Magnus fight. What he also loves is watching Magnus get protective afterwards.

Magnus needs kindness, and nurturing for himself- he gives so much to the world that he occasionally empties the stores that he needs for a rainy day. It’s okay though, as long as Alec is here he will tend to the beautiful rose that has wound is vines around Alec’s heart.

Summary:

Alec and Magnus married to unite the Shadow world and prevent a war. Falling in love was just a happy coincidence.

Now enemy and ally are getting harder to tell apart. Alec’s career is hanging by a very thin thread, they both have to prove to the rest of the Shadow world that they can deliver on their promises, and parties within and without are plotting to dismantle the alliance they’re trying to build.

Can a marriage just starting to find its feet handle the strain of the choices they must make and the secrets they must keep?
