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:


When Magnus has to go away on a business trip to wintery London, Alec makes sure he won’t get cold.

Growing up in the Institute had taught Alec a lot of things. Most importantly, to always have warm clothes at hand as soon as the weather became chilly. The concrete walls of the Institute may be a perfect shield against the heat during summer, but they absorbed every bit of warm air inside as well. So warm clothing during winter it was. For Alec, that didn’t really pose as a problem, he had long gotten used to low temperatures in the Institute.

Magnus, however, was an entirely different story.

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.

After the Lightwood siblings found out that they weren’t working for the good guys, they broke with the Clave. They’re on the run now in a stolen Firefly transporter, trying to make it to Earth, which has been deserted for centuries, to hide the Mortal Cup so it can’t be used against Downworlders. Between working jobs as smugglers and his relationship with his security officer, Alec isn’t exactly happy, but content.

Until Magnus Bane, warlock and companion, joins them as a passenger.
