The brief glimpse of Malec enjoying the quiet life with Max was so heartwarming – Max is the cutest and I would love to read a novella about what mischief he got up to while Maryse was babysitting him because it sounded absolutely hilarious. This second book in The Eldest Curses series takes place between City of Heavenly Fire and Lady Midnight, and I love how so many missing pieces continue to be filled in! There is a significant time jump between this and the previous book, but things are cleared up very quickly and it jumps straight into another adventure.
With Magnus’ magic growing more unstable by the day, time is running out fast and their hunt leads them into the long lost realm of the dead in search of answers. With Clary, Jace, Isabelle and the newly Ascended Simon in tow, Magnus and Alec head to Shanghai in search of the book and a cure, but more deadly things are afoot in the shadow world – portals are malfunctioning and demons are flooding into the city.
And the wound, instead of hurting or bleeding, is glowing, which can’t be anything good. Magnus and Alec are enjoying their life in New York, but their peaceful life with their son Max is interrupted when the warlock Shinyun Jung and Ragnor Fell appear out of nowhere and steal the Book of the White, and before making their escape, stab Magnus with a mysterious magical thorn. Can they stop the threat to the world? Will they make it back home before their kid completely wears out Alec’s mom? Magnus’s magic is growing unstable, and if they can’t stop the demons flooding into the city, they might have to follow them all the way back to the source-to the very realm of the dead. In Shanghai, they learn that a much darker threat awaits them. They need to follow the thieves to Shanghai, they need to call some backup to accompany them, and they need a babysitter.Īlso, someone has stabbed Magnus with a strange magical weapon and the wound is glowing, so they have that to worry about too.įortunately, their backup consists of Clary, Jace, Isabelle, and newly minted Shadowhunter Simon. Now Magnus and Alec will have to drop everything to get it back. Until the night that two old acquaintances break into Magnus’s apartment and steal the powerful Book of the White. They’re living together in a fabulous loft, their warlock son, Max, has started learning to walk, and the streets of New York are peaceful and quiet-as peaceful and quiet as they ever are, anyway.
