The Bane Chronicles (Companion to The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices Series) by Cassandra Clare, Sara Rees Brennan, and Maureen Johnson
It's not easy being Magnus Bane. As a warlock, he's often called upon to fix the problems of others. His life has been long, and his loves have been many. And Magnus has a way of making sure he's at the right place at the right -- or perhaps wrong -- time. The French Revolution, Prohibition, the great blackout of New York City, the first great battle between Valentine and the New York Institute.... Magnus was there, and usually in the middle of it. But smuggling Marie Antoinette out of France is nothing compared to loving a vampire-like Camile Belcourt -- or having a first date with Alec Lightwood.
Though Magnus's tale is far from over, these stories shed a little light on his often inscrutable character. What happens when an immortal warlock goes mad? Are all Herondales as problematic as Will? (Answer: yes.) What exactly happened at the Hotel Dumort? How did Raphael Santiago become a vampire? What do you buy for your Shadowhunter boyfriend when you're not really dating? And why was Magnus banned from Peru?
Magnus will never be able to tell all of his tales. No one would believe him. But here are eleven stories that fill in some of the blanks -- stories he probably wishes had never gotten out.
