BOOK RELEASES:

The Lost Book of the White

by Cassandra Clare

Life is good for Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. They're living together in a fabulous loft, their warlock son, Max, has started learning to walk, and the streets of New York are peaceful and quiet-as peaceful and quiet ad they ever are, anyway.

Until the night that two old acquaintances break into Magnus's apartment and steal the powerful Book of the White. Now Magnus and Alec will have to drop everything to get it back. They need to follow the thieves to Shanghai, they need to call some backup to accompany them, and they need a babysitter.

Also, someone has stabbed Magnus with a strange magical weapon and the wound is glowing, so they have that to worry about too.

Fortunately their backup consists of Clary, Jace, Isabelle and newly minted Shadowhunter Simon. In shanghai, they learn that a much darker threat awaits them. Magnus's magic is growing unstable, and if they can't stop the demons flooding into the city, they might have to follow them all the way back to the source—to the very realm of the dead. Can they stop the threat to the world? Wil they make it back home before their kid completely wears out Alec's mom?

Legendborn

by Tracy Deonn

After her mother dies in an accident, Sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home.

A flying demon feeding on human energies.

A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creature down.

And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts-and fails- to wipe Bree's memory of everything she saw.

The Mage's failure unlocks Bree's own unique magic and buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another merlin was at the hospital, Now Bree knows there's more to her mother's death than what's on the police report, she'll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.

She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society's secret-- and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the Descendants of King Arthur's Knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she'll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down—or join the fight.
