Summary: The world is not black and white. Not all angels are purely good, not all those who Fall become demons. When it’s all on the line, loyalties are tested, blood is spilled and bonds snap, Alec Lightwood will discover that the world might not be what he thought it was, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be better… And when a new morningstar rises in the sky, it will announce the coming of a new dawn, a new era for the whole of the Shadow World…

Artist Appreciation: My lovely, fantastic, absolute awesome Izzy Hound! You created such gorgeous art for this series I cannot stop looking at your work. You’re a remarkable artist and everyone should get the chance to admire your work.
Hello.
Just wanted to say how thrilled and eager I am to read this. I’ve read and loved all your AO3 works for this fandom (Burning Tower series is my favorite). Came to check out all the offerings coming to QB in June. When I saw there was going to be a Shadowhunters post and that it is written by you, I almost fell off my bed from excitement. My face was actually starting to hurt from how wide I was smiling.
Basically, I am definitely looking forward to this and June cannot come fast enough. Anything written by you is bound to be a masterpiece. Hope you and your loved ones are well. Many blessings and good health to you.
