The Morningstar: City of Forgotten Memories
This is a fanfiction based on The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. What if Jace and Clary never dated, only ever had a platonic relationship because they were both Valentine's experiments? Siblings, in a way, yes. But not by birth? And Jace never knew his true family.
In this reimagined version of City of Bones, nine years after the Mortal War, the Seelie Queen cast a spell to send the entire world into an alternative timeline. She erased the memory of Max, stripping him of his runes and sent him to befriend a boy named Samuel. Samuel is an ordinary eighteen-year-old guy-or so he thinks-until one night at a gritty biker bar changes everything. While trying to blend in, he witnesses a murder that no one else seems to remember. The attacker vanishes without a trace, and the body? Gone, like it never existed. That's the night Samuel's world cracks open.
Soon, he's pulled into a hidden war between demons and a secret order known as the Shadowhunters-warriors tasked with protecting humanity from creatures most people never even know exist. As Samuel digs deeper into the truth behind his mother's sudden disappearance, he uncovers a terrifying secret: his father isn't just some long-lost figure- he's the Devil himself.
Torn between the dark legacy in his blood and the loyalty he begins to feel for his newfound allies-especially the sharp-tongued, battle-scarred Jace-Samuel must choose what kind of man he wants to be in a world where monsters wear many faces... including his own.
