Achilles was murdered with a poisoned arrow, and Jason died alone, killed by his own rotting ship. Such is the fate of heroes.

There’s always the dinner rolls,” said Will, pointing to a covered basket. “Though I warn you, they’re as hard as stones. You could use them to kill black beetles, if any beetles bother you in...

He is not a Herondale. He is a Lightwood. Jace Lightwood. He’s my son.

To my son,If you are reading this letter, then I am dead.I expect to die, if not today, then soon. I expect that Valentine will kill me. For all his talk of loving me, for...

We Shadowhunters, we put ourselves in danger, every hour, every day. I think sometimes we are reckless with our hearts the way we are with our lives. When we give them away, we give every...

It was like the calm just as one engaged in battle, Will thought, when thought fled and inevitability took over.

Well, you needn’t act as if I invented it,” said Will.

And now,” Eric yelled into his mircophone, “we’re going to sing a new song-one we just wrote. This one’s for my girlfriend. We’ve been going out for three weeks, and, damn, our love is true....

Isabelle drifted over, Jace a pace behind her. She was wearing a long black dress with boots and an even longer cutaway coat of soft green velvet, the color of moss. “I can’t believe you...

Just take the weapon you hold in your hand and drive it through his heart,” Valentine’s voice was soft. “One simple motion. Nothing you haven’t done before.”Jace met his father’s stare with a level gaze....

It’s like Dungeons and Dragons, but real.”Jace was looking at Simon as if he were some bizarre species of insect. “It’s like what?””It’s a game,” Clary explained. She felt vaguely embarrassed. “People pretend to be...

He felt he could not be honest without disappointing everybody he loved.

Honestly I don’t know why i have these parties””Because of your cat””That’s true. Chairman Meow deserves my every effort

Clary felt suddenly annoyed. “When the self-congratulatory part of the evening is over, maybe we could get back to saving my best friend from being exsanguinated to death?””Exsanguinated,” said Jace, impressed. “That’s a big word.””And...

Is there some particular reason that you’re here?” …”Not this again.””Not what again?” said Clary.”Every time I annoy him, he retreats into his No Mundanes Allowed tree house.” Simon pointed at Jace.
