“Hart and Hope,"I muttered."If you're going to name your kids like that, of course they're going to think they live in a comic book."
Although I had to admit Hart was handsome,practically debonair.
His hair was threaded with silver and freakishly messy."Okay, he's totally got that yummy secret agent thing going on."
Nicholas scowled at me. I didn't have to turn my head to look at him to feel his eyes burning”

“Julian,” said Jia, in the same gentle voice, “would you do something for us? Would you take up the Mortal Sword?”
Clary sat up straight. She had held the Mortal Sword: she had felt the weight of it. The cold, like hooks in your skin, dragging the truth out of you. You couldn’t lie holding the Mortal Sword, but the truth, even a truth you wanted to tell, was agony. “They can’t,” she whispered. “He’s just a kid —”
“He’s the oldest of the kids who escaped the Institute,” Jace said under his breath. “They don’t have a choice.”
