In the sprawling forests of the Dawnwood, the life of Valmyr's people has changed. Endless winters and brutal blizzards force them into deep burrows while, outside, the old kin haunt the long nights. His only chance of saving his young sister is to flee into the unknown east...
Meanwhile, at the foot of the northern mountains, a mysterious prophet is building the first city of Men. Beneath the walls of An Cylas, Aevi must try to forget her past and become a leader, but just as a new warlord rises in the south, she discovers that their prophet is not who he seems to be.
Shadow of Dawn is the first book of the Godmakers Saga, a continuing series set in the same world and featuring some of the same faces. Each book, however, can be read as a stand-alone and in any order.

Alec Lightwood had a successful life. He worked damn hard for it. But at the same time he was lonely. Experienced yet inexperienced. He craved love and knew he would never have it. He craved real feelings, to be loved for who he was, to be loved in a way that would satisfy him, but he knew that was an unreachable dream for him. So he buried his true self deep inside himself. So deeply that he slowly began to believe that his own false reality was real. And it worked for 28 years. Until he saw Magnus Bane in a red light window on the streets of Amsterdam. ➡️ NOTES: I was in Amsterdam a week ago. I went to the red light district. The place has such an aura that of course my Malec writing brain cells almost exploded. I started writing this the same day, during my vacation. I was going to write a oneshot...but by the end (as usual) I couldn't stop. It will be 3-5 chapters, but this time they will be shorter than usual - about 1K word / chapters. ⚠️ Warning 🔞 The story is ONLY for ages 18 +. This is adult content. I can't deny it, the atmosphere of the place turned me on...and it turned Alec on... also Magnus, of course... **** English is not my first language. Please don't compare the characters with the characters in Cassandra Claire's books. In my story you will only find references to the TV series. (I don't own any of the characters. All belong to Cassandra Claire. The story is my own. You'll find a few references to the TV series. I only use the names to make it easier to relate to the story)Complete
