Meet Jace everybody's favorite rich, golden boy. He's good at everything from sports to being popular and even school, mostly. But what is Jace best at? Keeping the secret his parents say nobody can no about even when that means lying to the people Jace cares about most. Meet Clary the aspiring artist. Clary has been around art her entire life and after her dad's death, it really helped get her through it. Clary is new to Herondale High, a school for New York's elite to send their children. The joke is Clary is there on scholarship eliciting all sorts of rumors about why she is there. The punch line? Clary is rich maybe even richer than school celebrity Jace Herondale and his best friends Alec and Isabelle Lightwood. What happens when Clary and Jace's paths cross and they become friends? Will secrets from the past keep them being together or are their differences enough to keep them from even getting that far?

Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed, and life will not be so kind. Hannah is adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents choose their social standing over their daughter and endures a life of struggle, hunger and service. One day Hannah is escorted to the regional government office and told that the Consultant who delivered her, who labelled her Flawed got it wrong! Now, she is being relocated back to her birth parents, to live as one of the Ninety-Five- all medically and legally judged as perfect. Entering this new life Hannah has an impossible decision to make which puts not only hers, but the lives of everyone she cares about at great risk.
