Summary:


It’s Christmas Eve, but instead of being home with his siblings watching cheesy television and eating pizza, Alec Lightwood is stuck in a small town in the middle of nowhere because of a snow storm. Worse, he’s going to have to share a room at an over-priced B&B with his sister’s annoying boss, Magnus Bane. They’ll be lucky if this Christmas doesn’t end in bloodshed.

Summary:


A pacifist raised in a warrior culture, Aleksander has been the subject of his father’s ire since he was old enough to spurn the sword. But after years of scorn and abuse, Alek finally gathers the courage to do what he’s always wanted: leave. Equipped with information that could mean the salvation of an entire culture, Alek sets out to find the dreki – a race of magic-weilding shifters – and warn them of his father’s quest to eradicate their kind.

Magnus Bane, celebrated leader of the dreki, has given up everything in order to help his people. When he accepted the mantle of Drakkson, he did so knowing that life’s ordinary pleasures were forbidden to him. Magnus was happy to make the sacrifice and has never regretted that choice – until he meets Alek. Beautiful, brave, and shockingly innocent, he’s everything that Magnus didn’t know he wanted and the one thing that he can’t have.

Thrown together out of necessity, Magnus and Alek quickly move from open hostility to begrudging respect. But with war looming on the horizon and the dreki council breathing down their necks, forging a way forward together is impossible – unless both men are willing to turn their backs on everything they believe in.

Summary:

At fifteen, Magnus is cursed. Or maybe, since he’s the son of a god, his life had been cursed from the day he was born.

Asmodeus covets him, wants Magnus to follow him, to pray to him for aid… expects Magnus to love him. But Magnus sees the magic in his father’s eyes for what it is, destruction and fear and pain, and so, Magnus refuses. In a fit of rage, furious that a son of his would choose humanity over him, Asmodeus curses Magnus.

Undaunted, Magnus decides he’ll make his own future, that his choices shall remain his. He lives his life in peace, not letting his visions of a burning city scare him or decide his path. Until… one morning, he sees Alexander’s face and knows that his fate is determined.

Magnus will never let him go.

Summary:

From the very first moment Alexander Lightwood laid eyes on Magnus Bane, his whole world changed. Years later, now a decorated junior figure skater himself, an injury prevents him from participating in his senior debut. Considering giving up the sport for good, one video posted by his brother will send Alec down a new path, one that becomes intertwined with that of his long time idol, Olympic Gold Medalist and three time world figure skating champion Magnus Bane.

Summary:

Alec stills behind him, the hand curled around Magnus’s own going slack. He feels rather than sees Magnus turn around to look at him. It’s enough to release the torrent of emotion he’s been holding back for weeks and Alec is pulling Magnus towards him by his hand without a second thought and burying his face in Magnus’s shoulder as soon as their bodies slot together, perfectly yet imperfectly.

“Magnus,” Alec whispers hoarsely, his voice half muffled by the fabric of Magnus’s coat. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

Summary:

He should’ve never returned.

He knew it was a mistake the second he set foot in the Institute.

Valentine is still at large, slaughtering downworlders by the hour, and here he was, coming back to the very place he’d sworn to stay away from.

Magnus Bane has returned after seventeen months, only to come face to face with the person he’d specifically avoided for those seventeen months in the first ten minutes of being back.

Whoever said hell didn’t exist on earth had obviously never had the chance to meet Alexander Lightwood.

Summary:

“I’m so sorry to bother you, but would you be so kind as to kiss me?”

“Excuse me?” Alec turned from the bar – his whiskey glass hovering in the air and frozen halfway to his mouth – only to become immediately trapped in scintillating, deep amber eyes, locking onto him with a force that seemed altogether too intimate already.


For a chance meeting with a stranger at a bar, it sure does feel familiar….
Let’s be strangers for the night, darling.
