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.
