Elle Nguyen is a late-bloomer.
Are you done laughing? Great. Now we can skip into summary.
After nearly burning down her family home during a violent altercation with her stepfather, Elle has to face the truth: magic courses through her veins. Terrified of harming her parents and brother, she runs away from her tiny town in Connecticut all the way to New York, where she hunts down the High Warlock of Brooklyn. Her goal? Answers on why her powers took seventeen years to show up.
Soon enough, she ends up tangled in the budding war upon discovering a protective streak over a certain mundane who got a little too involved in Shadowhunter business. Terrified of seeing another seemingly normal person lose their life to this world of inexplicable magic, she's determined to look after him. But there's some destines that not even a teenager's stubbornness can prevent.
And by then, Elle's in too deep.
