Magnus Bane wanted a vacation with his boyfriend. Just a normal vacation. The High Warlock had planned a wonderful vacation in Paris for them to get to know each other a little better.
But vacation is a relative term when you have a High Warlock and a Shadow Hunter. Adventure seems to follow them wherever they go. While the two of them are enjoying dinner in a hot air balloon, they see demons chasing two Shadow Hunters across the rooftops of Paris. Unable to pass by someone in need, Alec and Magnus help the Shadow Hunters from the hot air balloon.
This begins the adventure that finds Magnus accused of being the head of The Crimson Hand - a cult that is wreaking havoc and causing Faerie deaths around the world. Magnus and Alec set out to clear Magnus' name and discover that maybe, just maybe, Magnus founded the cult during centuries ago as a joke. However, in the intervening centuries, The Crimson Hand has become determined to summon a greater demon and rule the world with the help of none other than Asmodeus - better known as Magnus' father.
Can Magnus clear his name before it's too late?

From Bettina: Hey, this is a totally awesome book that pulls in some pretty High Fantasy - which I love! I hadn't read any books by Cassandra Clare before, and I am now a huge fan of her work! I am giong to have to make a point of going back to read all of her series. I love Magnus' character, and I want to explore the world that she has created in depth.
