I’ve got a stele we can use. Who wants to do me?””A regrettable choice of words,” muttered Magnus.

Stop it.” Isabelle tapped a booted foot in the shallow water at the lake’s edge. “Both of you. In fact, all three of you. If we don’t stick together in the Seelie Court, we’re dead.””But...

I have come to understand something about novels,” Tessa said.”And what is that?””They are not true.

I’ve known parabatai so close they were almost the same person; do you know what happens, when one of them dies, to the one that’s left —?

Where’s Magnus?” he said. AS he looked toward the kitchen, Clary saw a bruise on his jaw, below his ear, about the size of a thumbprint. “Alec!” Magnus came skidding into the living room and...

Magnus had been alive hundreds of years himself, and yet the simplest things could turn a day into a jewel, and a succession of days into a glittering chain that went on and on. Here...

Maryse: I am fighting for a better world for myself and my son.Magnus: I have no interest in the world you want or in your doubteless repellent brat, I might add.

What are you?The voice came from nowhere. It was in the room. It was outside. It was in Magnus’s head.”A warlock,” Magnus answered. “And what are you?”We are many.”Please do not say you are a...

[Magnus] reminded himself of his manners, and bowed. “Charmed,” he said. “Or whatever effect would please you best, I’m sure.

The moment they met, Simon had decided that if looks matched personalities, Jon Cartwright would look like a horse’s ass. Unfortunately, there is no justice in the world, and he looked instead like a walking...

I’ll go with you,” Alec said, looking at Isabelle and Simon with suspicious eyes.”If you must,” said Isabelle with exaggerated indifference.”I should warn you we’ll be making out in the dark. Big, sloppy make-outage.”Simon looked...

And next time you’re planning to injure yourself to get me attention, just remember that a little sweet talk works wonders.

I just don’t see why the past has to matter.

A diary with no drawings of me in it? Where are the torrid fantasies? The romance covers?
