Cronicile lui Magnus Bane

Magnus Bane is a mage who cannot die. He often solves other people's problems. These eleven tales trace his long life and many loves. They show parts of his past and why he stays guarded. This book of fantasy tales is for young adults. Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson and Sarah Rees Brennan wrote it.

Magnus takes part in events in many times and places. The tales span the French Revolution and Prohibition. They also cover a major blackout in New York. One tells of Valentine and the New York Institute's first great clash. Magnus helps Marie Antoinette flee France, but love tests him too. The tales show his love for Camille Belcourt, a vampire. They also tell of his first date with Alec Lightwood.

Other tales look at strange events at the Hotel Dumort. They show how Raphael Santiago became a vampire. They also ask why Peru banned Magnus from the country. What happens when a mage who cannot die loses his mind? The book asks this too. It looks at the Herondale family's wild streak, which Will shares. Even picking a gift can be hard. This is true when a Shadowhunter romance has no clear status. These tales show more of Magnus's past. They do not bring his story to an end.
