From Alexander Lightwood's point of view, His parents adopted a boy named Jonathan Christopher Wayland. 6 years later, Jonathan, whose name is shortened to Jace, is Valentine's son. Then, weeks later, it's concluded Jace is Stephen Herondale's son.
But, about 6 years before that when Alec first meets Jace, he gets the impression of a 10-year-old, annoying, self-conceited and boastful; not the brave, rebellious boy he gets 6 years later.
This is the story of Alec's 6 years with Jace. This is book 1 of the series. The series will be called 6 Years.
