Let them keep their fragile crowns and hollow thrones built on a foundation of deceit. For once I'm free of Mikaelson baggage; my only regret is leaving behind my precious daughter. But as the familiar streets of New Orleans fade in the rearview mirror, replaced by the open, untamed horizon, I realize this exile is not a defeat-it is a blank page, and for the first time in a thousand years, the ink is entirely my own. ~klaus

This is set in 2015. I wrote this before The Dark Artifices/The Last Hours/Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy came out, sorry if something is different if you're reading this after they are published. He arrives mysteriously in New York where he is found by the New York Institute Shadowhunters. Except he's been dead for 78 years. (My bios are really bad. Just try the story.) Almost all characters and ideas are Cassandra Clare's. The pictures on the cover are Cassandra Jean's, though the collage was done by me. ~Natalie
