Memento Sperare

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.
