Synopsis: Magnus meets Valentine in battle as the Circle attacks the Downworlders of New York City.In the time of the Uprising, Valentine’s Circle goes after Downworlders in New York...and the Shadowhunters of the Institute must decide whether to join him, or fight with Magnus and his kind. This is the first time Magnus sees Jocelyn, Luke, and Stephen—but not the last. It is not long before Jocelyn seeks him out...
This short story takes place in 1989, back when the Circle was in full swing. Ugh. They suck. There was SO much bigotry from them I just... They are awful! And Jace’s real dad, Stephen Herondale, was such an asshole! He believed in everything Valentine did. Oh and then Valentine and his cronies wanted to rid the world of Downworlders no matter what, just because they had some demon blood in them. It was absolutely awful! The things they did to this werewolf family were despicable!
But Magnus got real snarky with Valentine and I loved it! I always love to see Magnus be a badass and use his magic. Unfortunately, Ragnor has other thoughts in regards to our favorite warlock...
“Ragnor’s in Peru,” said Catarina. “He says he finds it very peaceful without your accursed presence, and that’s a direct quote.”
🤣 Poor Magnus. Lol.
So the story ends when four years after all this, Jocelyn shows up at Magnus’s place with a little bundle of joy... Clary! It was SO cool to finally see this scene! I was not expecting it! I really loved this story!
