This story takes place after city of ashes and towards the beginning of city of glass. Clary travels to Idris in search of not only a cure for the spell Valentine placed on her mother, but also in search of the real Jonathan Morganstern. Her brother. After landing in the poisonous Lake Lynn due to a faulty portal, Clary experiences wild hallucinations and strange dreams. After the poison is out of her system the symptoms are suppose to go away, but Clary continues to get flashes of the fair-haired angel with the hypnotizing green eyes. When Clary seeks Jace's help, he shatters her with his words and pushes her away. This final straw in what seems like a never ending stream of failure and heartache pushes Clary to the end, and she discovers power unlike anything they've ever seen before. Will anything ever be the same?
