“A rip-roaring adventure merged with satisfying romance.” —Entertainment Weekly
“[A] swashbuckling launch to the Eldest Curses series.” —Publishers Weekly

From #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller Cassandra Clare and award-winner Wesley Chu comes the first book in a new series full of “swoon-worthy romance [and] abundant action” (Publishers Weekly). The Red Scrolls of Magic is a Shadowhunters novel.

All Magnus Bane wanted was a vacation—a lavish trip across Europe with Alec Lightwood, the Shadowhunter who against all odds is finally his boyfriend. But as soon as the pair settles in Paris, an old friend arrives with news about a demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos around the world. A cult that was apparently founded by Magnus himself. Years ago. As a joke.

Now Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Hand before the cult can cause any more damage. Demons are now dogging their every step, and it is becoming harder to tell friend from foe. As their quest for answers becomes increasingly dire, Magnus and Alec will have to trust each other more than ever—even if it means revealing the secrets they’ve both been keeping.

"In the first audiobook in The Eldest Curses trilogy (part of The Shadowhunter Chronicles), B.D. Wong, known for his work in Disney films, television, and theater, gives voice to warlock Magnus Bane and his boyfriend, Alec Lightwood. While touring Europe after the Mortal War, they discover a cult that is determined to cause chaos. Wong engages with the gripping tale's accelerating intrigue as Magnus and Alec race across the continent to stop the cult. Wong puts listeners directly in the center of events as the heroes cut it close all the way to the end.

amazing 😍

loved every second of it! this is the story I've been waiting for! can't wait to read the second

So happy to see this story progress!

🤩 It’s wonderful to see the story of Magnus and Alec developed into a series! Their characters are fascinating and their relationship even more so. I am always so happy to see a variety of issues and topics addressed in Cassandra Clare’s stories and this one does not disappoint. Past, present, future will all come into question as you read this and entertain you till the end.

I enjoyed it

The Red Scrolls of Magic is magical, romantic, and amazing. It is filled with romance, magic, adventure, danger, mystery and secrets and pasts revealed. I loved reading about my favorite Shadowhunters series couple. Now this book is for Malec fans and is heavy on their romance, the beginnings and struggle of their relationship during the Mortal Instruments series. I love these two and love that we get to know a little more about Magnus’ past and find out what happened that was mentioned during City of Fallen Angels. I love BD Wong, he's a great actor and wasn't bad narrator either.

Biased review! 💘 it because I 💘 featured couple

So I know I overlooked some flaws because of it. I love the setting and the romance between the two. It's cute seeing the start of their romantic journey.

Good story, but…

The storyline was fine, but I just couldn’t connect with the narrator’s voice for Alex.

Amazing!!!

I LOVED this story and the performance. SO GOOD. I loved the overall plot as well as the excellent portrayal of the underlying love story. ❤️🙏

I like how the narrator changed your voice for the different characters

I love this author.
And it was a great book A cut off from the other series that I'm listening to.
About the shadow hunters to this get, more information on Magnus. highly recommend it if you love her other books your love this one.

This book desperately needs a new narrator.

It's a great story. However it desperately needs a new narrator. You can never be sure if it Alex or Magus speaking they sound the same. they both sou d very bland. Some of the other characters are sound nonsense. I had to stop and backtrack several times to try and understand what he was saying.

very good

the story was very good story! i enjoyed the whole thing. i caint wait for more

story fun, and performance mostly good, but...

the narrator does good voices for the male characters. however, most of the female characters, he sounds like he's doing the voice of a flamboyant male rather than a female. and when he voices East Asian characters, he tends to overdo it. It sounds a little bit racist, though not intentionally I am sure.
