About:
Simon Lewis never thought he'd become a Shadowhunter... and now he has the chance. Ten novellas, each released as an individual e-book over the course of ten months, make up Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy. The series will launch with one story a month beginning February 2015. When all the novellas are published, the book will be offered in print format in bookstores, much like the Bane Chronicles.

But what if the child survived, could there be a lost Herondale line out in the world today?
