Everyone knows Jace Herondale.
The fearless Shadowhunter. The golden boy. The warrior who never backs down from a fight.
But few know the truth about his sister.
Y/n Herondale is a mystery even to those closest to her. Haunted by a past she refuses to talk about and scars she hides behind sarcasm and reckless bravery, she's spent years convincing herself that needing people is a weakness. Running away is easier than staying. Fighting alone is easier than trusting someone to stay.
As the Shadow World faces greater threats than ever before, Y/n finds herself caught in the middle of battles against demons, dangerous secrets, and a darkness that exists not only in the world around her, but inside her own mind.
The only people capable of reaching her are the ones she keeps pushing away:
Her fiercely protective brother, Jace.
Her parabatai and best friend, Isabelle Lightwood.
And Alec Lightwood.
The disciplined, stubborn Shadowhunter who refuses to give up on her no matter how many walls she builds between them.
As feelings grow and old wounds reopen, Y/n must decide whether she will continue running from everyone who cares about her... or finally allow herself to be loved.
But when a new threat emerges that could destroy everything she holds dear, Y/n is forced to confront the one thing she's feared her entire life:
What if staying is harder than leaving?
Filled with action, romance, family bonds, heartbreak, and the found-family magic of the Shadow World, Staying with the Broken Herondale is a story about healing, trust, and learning that even the most broken hearts deserve a place to belong.
"You keep running."
"And you keep following me."
"Maybe because you're worth finding." 🖤⚔️✨
