The End of the Beginning

Before Clary Fray there was Eloise Parker; a simple delicate mundane who stole the heart of the quiet, strong-hearted Alec Lightwood. It was often wondered how one girl could change a single man- a Shadow Hunter whose sole purpose was not to fall in love, but rather keep the peace of mankind from the terrible nightmares that lurked in the streets.
If you are looking for a story about a girl who learned of her strength and becomes a hero through her self defining purpose in the world - this is not that story. If you're looking for a romance full of kisses and secret touches - this is not that story. You want to read about a troubled boy changed by a stubborn girl? This is not that story. No, this story is about the heartbreak that comes with love, the death that comes with life, and the end that comes with every beginning.
