The Shadow Between Us

Arabella Fairchild was never meant to fade into the background-yet she spent her entire life watching her twin sister take up all the space, all the noise, all the chaos. Where Clary blunders headfirst into the Shadow World, Arabella steps into it like she was carved from its darkness.

Marked by strange, glowing runes that respond to her blood and bound to powers even the Institute doesn't fully understand, Arabella quickly proves she is not a mistake of fate-but a weapon forged by it. Calm, controlled, and lethal, she earns the respect of the Nephilim far faster than her sister ever does.

Especially Alec Lightwood, who sees her discipline and quiet strength, and Jace Herondale, who is drawn to the fire she keeps carefully restrained.

As demons rise, secrets unravel, and sibling rivalry turns bitter, Arabella must navigate a world that finally sees her worth-while choosing between two warriors who could either ground her... or ruin her.

In a world of angels and monsters, she is the shadow they never saw coming.
