About the Bane Chronicles Series

The Bane Chronicles is a definite ‘gotta-read’ book for every Shadowhunters fan who has been curious about the mysterious and charming warlock, Magnus Bane. This one-of-a-kind collection of short novels features an array of iconic and hilarious episodes from the Great Warlock’s life in Brooklyn. The team of authors Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, and Maureen Johnson take the readers on a journey through the past, from the time of the French Revolution to the chaotic days of Prohibition-era New York.

The crux of this series is that it uncovers fragments of the whole of Magnus’s past, riddled with his escapades, love life, and episodes of him getting into trouble (mostly accompanied by a mischievous grin). Usually if he is not saving royalty, fending off unpredictable Shadowhunters, or going on an agonizing first date with Alec Lightwood, Magnus is finding new ways to be unforgettable. The first ten stories initially were in electronic format, but the fans were excited when the physical edition with the extra eleventh story was published on November 11, 2014. Of course it was the option of room for the stories, given that Magnus has lived through the centuries, that allowed for just enough to let us develop stronger feelings for the most memorable character of the Shadowhunter universe.
