Ten couples. United by love. Divided by danger.

These are just a few of the beloved couples whose romantic escapades will have you on the edge of your seat across time and storylines from Cassandra Clare’s expansive Shadowhunters series. Don’t miss a chance to reunite with:

  • Anna and Ari
  • Emma and Julian
  • Kieran, Mark, and Cristina

A love letter to every Shadowhunter fan, this riveting story collection also includes a sneak peek at The Wicked Powers, the majestic trilogy that will be the grand finale of the entire series.
