Clary Fairchild has been living with her mother in New York City ever since she remembers. One day, like any other, she is invited to join I.N.S.A.N.E.S.(Intelligent, Noble, Stealthy, Accelerated, National, Espionage, Society) a school for extremely talented students. There she meets Jace, sarcastic, intelligent, gorgeous, and extremely cocky. Simon, nerdy, funny, and shy. Alec, protective, kind of depressed, determined, and handsome. Issabelle, stunning, sly, witty, and kind. She doesn't expect to fit in, but finds that there's more to the I.N.S.A.N.E.S. than meets the eye.
Clary Fairchild just entered her freshman year in high school. At the welcoming ceremony, she saw Jace Herondale on stage giving the welcoming speech. From that moment on, she started a mission of having Jace fall in love with her and eventually marry her. The first time she approached him was with a letter telling him how she felt about him, but he flatly refused to take it and walked away.
Clary will stop at nothing to win his love. When her father's house burns down, her father tells her that they are staying with his childhood and best friend. When she arrives at the house, it turns out that they are at Herondale's house. Clary is in shock to see Jace standing there in the foyer waiting to say hello. He greets her and her father by introducing himself as he has never met her before. His mother becomes fond of Clary and even sets up a room just for her. She asks Jace to help Clary unpack, but Clary refuses his help, so Jace tells her to stay out of his way while she is staying there. Clary's work is cut out for her. Will she win Jace's heart? Will her dream of marrying him come true? You will have to see.
