The Lost Book of Al-Abyad

From #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cassandra Clare and award-winning author Wesley Chu comes the second book in the Great Curses series, continuing the love story between Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. "The Lost White Book" is a novel in the Shadowhunters series. Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood are settling into their home with their son, Max, when the sorcerers Ragnor Fell and Shinyon Jung break into their apartment and steal a powerful spellbook. Realizing that Ragnor and Shinyon are under the control of an evil force, they resolve to stop them and recover the book before they can cause any further damage. With the help of Clary Fairchild, Jace Herondale, Isabel Lightwood, and Simon Lovelace (a recent graduate of Shadowhunter Academy), they track the sorcerers to Shanghai. But nothing is as it seems. Ragnor and Shinyon are working for a greater demon. Their goal is to open a portal from the demon realms to Earth, flooding the city of Shanghai with dangerous demons. When a violent encounter leaves Magnus's magic increasingly unstable, Alec and Magnus gather their friends to strike at the heart of the demon's power. But what they find there is far stranger and more sinister than they expected... Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Holly Black, and Sarah J. Maas.
