𝐀 𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐃, 𝐀 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐍, 𝐀 𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐞. An unwanted peridot in the loophole of the laws of nature, laws that denied the existence of such a being. For what else could they call her, those who were afraid of change and diversity?
𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐋𝐄, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭, the prestigious house of Subramanian was under attack. Revered deeply by the society of Indian Shadowhunters, their numbers were falling rapidly, no longer proud to fight in the war. Their youngest, the beautiful, precocious Nandini Subramanian, was the last of their bloodline. Young, naive, unmarked, and just six years old, she was an incredibly easy target.
𝐒𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐑, 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 who was an exact carbon copy. She was suddenly removed from the world she'd known forever, far, far away from runes and battles. Nandini never understood, why her parents had sent her away. She never knew that her so-called "body double" was killed during her runing ceremony, screaming and thrashing against her burning skin as she collapsed to the ground. She never knew the silent sobs that racked the body of her mother at night, self-hate racking through her at the way she'd left her daughter behind. She never knew the whispers that plagued the high graces of Shadowhunter society, that the Subramanians were monsters, destined to rot in hell like the lesser part of their breed. All she had was resentment against her so-called parents for abandoning her.
