Friday 56: The Bane Chronicles By Cassandra Clare

This is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice

These are the rules:

1. Grab a book, any book.

2. Turn to page 56, or 56% on your eReader.

3. Find any sentence (or a few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you.

4. Post it.

5. Add the URL to your post in the link on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post.

I got my Bane Chronicles in the bind up form, because I liked that better than buying each short story separately.

This particular one comes from the short story of The Runaway Queen.

     Runaway Queen synopsis:

"While in France, immortal warlock Magnus Bane finds himself attempting to rescue the royal family from the horrors of the French Revolution—after being roped into this mess by a most attractive count. Naturally, the daring escape calls for invisible air balloons…"

I gotta say, Magnus Bane is my favorite Downworlder
from the Shadowhunter books.
