A very special thank-you to Cassie for allowing me to help tell Magnus’s story. This has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I am truly honored and blessed to be a part of something as special as the Shadowhunter universe.
Lastly I have to acknowledge Magnus and Alec. Your love is an inspiration and a beacon to so many. May your first days until your last days shine equally bright.
—W. C.
