Charlotte just moved to the New York Institute after living her entire life in Idris. She never expected to nearly immediately fall for Alec Lightwood, and he for her. Reunited with an old friend, gaining a new love, and making new friends proves to be good for Charlotte after her haunting past of watching her family be killed by vampires. But when Valentine arises, things get complicated. Can Charlotte and Alec's relationship survive? Can she and Jace still remain good friends? Can she even trust Clary? And Isabelle, could she really trust her to fight by her side? Question after question answered and formed in this thrilling fanfiction based off of the Shadowhunters TV show. I do not own any of the characters except for Charlotte, and any other minor characters I create throughout the story. The plot belongs to me, but the setting and most characters belong to Cassandra Clare. By the way, this takes place before the events of City of Bones, it'll ease into that around the middle of the book. This fanfiction was approved by CASSANDRA FUCKING CLARE HERSELF Yes, I fucked up in a lot of places. I was only on book 2 when I wrote it, I didn't really know shit. Please stop going through my book and pointing out every little flaw, I plan to go through and fix it but for now it's ruining my self esteem as an author because I can't even write fanfiction correctly.

SEQUEL TO "Secret" Picking up right where the first story ended, newlyweds Charlotte and Alec Lightwood must begin the search for their son, Henry. He was last seen being abducted by Jace Wayland, who was leaving to join Valentine's army. They also have to look for Jace, though they have no clue what will happen when they find him. Charlotte has to face her own demons - much worse than the ones that she kills on the daily. She must try to fight against the ones inside her head, deep inside herself. Can she save herself, and her son, from Valentine? Or will she fall, like so many before herself? >< All characters except for Charlotte, Henry, and any other minor characters I make belong to Cassandra Clare >< Follows the TV show "Shadowhunters" because it's just easier for me to do
