[Book One of the Dear Max series] [Complete!] Magnus really did love Alec but why stay with someone who couldn't understand personal space? Magnus really did love Alec, he did, but he couldn't make himself care when he turned and walked away from the form of the broken angel behind him. He just couldn't make himself care, why should he care? It wasn't his fault or problem, he couldn't even get himself to care when Isabelle called him crying.

Book one in the Time series. Back in 1833, it was much different than our time. The boys were boys, the girls were girls, and if you were thought to be gay then you were killed because it was unholy and disgusting. Alexander Lightwood isn't your normal child. He's too tall (unnaturally so) and way too skinny. He looks like a girl in everything and that's why his father doesn't like him and his mother makes him do girl chores and... the handsome rich new stranger with the odd coloured skin flirts with him.
