Jocelyn's story

This is the story of Jocelyn’s early life, as told to Clary, so remember — “you” in this story is Clary, listening.*

Though this was originally written as part of City of Glass, it was too long, explained too much, and had to be shortened and altered. While it’s fun to believe that this is how things were for Jocelyn, this excerpt has to be considered non-canon or alternate universe, so don’t be surprised if things in future Shadowhunters books contradict this version of events, or if it contradicts things in City of Glass.]
