Summary: Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bane met months before Clary Fray ever even heard of the Shadow World. When the Circle and Valentine Morgenstern suddenly appear back on the scene, Magnus and Alec’s relationship has major implications for the way events play out: a missed collision; captured rogue Shadowhunters; and a mother gets to tell her daughter the secrets she’s kept hidden for eighteen years.
There are still challenges; Valentine is creating havoc between Shadowhunters and Downworlders, the Clave has its own agenda, and a new choice might give them the boon they need to deal with it all.

Story
Notes
Shadowhunters is a fandom that is rife with plot holes and issues, whether it’s the TV show or the books, so I’m taking liberties and using book-canon to flesh out some of the TV show canon that was underdeveloped and/or inconsistent. The characters are based on the TV show versions. I had a great time writing this, but I think I could have spent another six months working on it and I still wouldn’t be perfectly happy with it. This also turned into the first part of a two-part series, though this does remain a stand-alone novel.
