When Shinyun Jung reappears in Magnus and Alec’s loft three years after the Shadowhunter had set her free out of an act of kindness and mercy, she brings a surprising ally to help steal the Book of the White.

They know who they are alone and who they are together, but they’re also trying to figure out how to balance being parents to their toddler son and jobs that involve world-ending danger. Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood’s relationship is no longer fresh and awkward as they fumble through getting to know each other like in The Red Scrolls of Magic, it’s strong and true and tried. The Lost Book of the White, the second installment of Clare and Wesley Chu’s The Eldest Curses trilogy, tackles what it means to be a hero when you’re no longer 16 and free of responsibilities - or in Magnus’ case, immortal and more concerned with the drink in your hand than settling down.
