Garrington, Indiana is as exciting as a town name "Garrington" can get. On the eve of their senior Prom, Alec sees Magnus and Magnus hears Alec, and their lives get more excitement than either of them can handle.

Dreams. A series of images, ideas, sensations, and emotions occuring involuntarily in the mind during stages of sleep. A realm where the impossible can become possible, or your worst fear can come to life in a frighteningly realistic way. For Alec Lightwood, dreams were the only place where he could be with the one who had captured his heart. The only way he could touch his face, to feel his arms around his waist and look lovingly into his beautiful eyes. The only instance in which he knew the taste of his lips as familiarly as he knew his hometown. His dreams were the only place that Alec could truly be happy, once and for all, when he didn't have to pretend. When he could be himself without having to face the consequences or disapproval from his family--because, as long as he was under the safe blanket of his own mind, Jace could finally be his.
