Born to Endless Night

A newborn warlock, marked by strange navy-blue skin, is found abandoned on the steps of Shadowhunter Academy, and no one there has the first idea how to care for him. Magnus Bane, visiting as a guest lecturer, reluctantly steps in — dispensing four hundred years of hard-won warlock wisdom while confronting how little anyone protects Downworlder children born into a world built for Nephilim. It is a quieter entry in Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, carried by Magnus's exasperated tenderness.
