“Well, Antonius,” the magistrate said, “you are without question a licentious and disreputable young man. You have disgraced a noble patrician name and sullied your character in the lowest of pursuits, and we have received testimony that you are not only a drunkard and a gambler—but an outright murderer as well.”
With an opening like that, the old vulture was sending him to the block for sure. Antony shrugged, philosophically; he’d known it was unlikely his family could have scraped together enough of a bribe to get him let go. Claudius’s family was a damn sight richer than his; and in any case he could hardly imagine his stepfather going to the trouble.

Opinião:
Vici é um conto passado no mundo já apresentado pela autora. Apesar de ter gostado da história e dos seus personagens a verdade é que não me recordo de este acontecimento ter sido abordado em algum livro da saga Téméraire e isso fez-me sentir um pouco triste. Não é que eles não a refiram, eu é que não me recordo e por isso é difícil de perceber a importância do episódio na série. Contudo é uma leitura agradável.

Sinopse:
Fans of The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices know that Magnus Bane is banned from Peru—and now they can find out why. One of ten adventures in The Bane Chronicles.
There are good reasons Peru is off-limits to Magnus Bane. Follow Magnus’s Peruvian escapades as he drags his fellow warlocks Ragnor Fell and Catarina Loss into trouble, learns several instruments (which he plays shockingly), dances (which he does shockingly), and disgraces his host nation by doing something unspeakable to the Nazca Lines.
This standalone e-only short story illuminates the life of the enigmatic Magnus Bane, whose alluring personality populates the pages of the #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series. This story in The Bane Chronicles, What Really Happened in Peru, is written by Sarah Rees Brennan and Cassandra Clare.

Opinião:
Desde que esta série de contos começou a sair que me sinto extremamente curiosa, afinal de contas Magnus é das personagens mais carismáticas no mundo da autora. Ao contrário do que se sucede no conto mencionado acima recordo-me vagamente de ter sido abordado algures que Magnus não podia entrar no Perú. Infelizmente achei que todo o conto ficava muito aquém do esperado. Foi uma historieta sem sal e que não me mostrou o Magnus que tanto gosto. Sinceramente perdi um pouco a vontade de ler os restantes contos.
