"You are a Lightwood, and you always will be. I never gave up hope that you would come back, that we would see you again. You would not imagine the lengths I went through to try and find you, how many times we tried to track you." He smiled at me as he held my hand tightly in his.

"That's just it." I shook my head as I pulled my hand away from his grasp, standing up from my bed. "I didn't want to be found."

From a young age Cecile Lightwood knew that she didn't fit into the mold her parents had set for her. She didn't want to be a Shadowhunter. To be held responsible for upholding the Lightwood name. 

She knew she wasn't cut out to be a Shadowhunter. So when a mission goes wrong and Cecile finds herself given the chance to create a new life for herself, she takes it. 

With her family thinking she's dead, Cecile finds herself being taken in my Luke, Jocelyn, and Dot. All of them promising to help her live the life she's always wanted for herself. With their help she was able to hide herself away from the Shadow World, to live the mundane life she wanted for herself. But following peace comes trouble.

Now she is nineteen and is finding herself thrown back into the life that she had worked so hard at escaping. Facing the family that she abandoned for a new one. How will Cecile be able to handle the struggles of being thrusted back into a world that she had worked so hard at leaving in the past? What secrets will she uncover? And who will really be by her side when all else fails?

SEQUEL TO CITY OF SECRETS It has been three months since Ember Fairose defeated Jacob Ashwright, and the Shadow World has been lulled into a certain sense of peace, or so it seems. In the New York Institute, Ember is leading the seemingly perfect life-she is raising her ten month-old daughter alongside her fiancé, Jonathan Morgenstern, has her loyal parabatai, Isabelle Lightwood, standing by her side, and has the help and love of all of her friends and family, not to mention that everyone in the Shadow World seems to know her name and face. Ember is presented with new chances and opportunities, but finds herself feeling unsure of the ideas of the future everyone is creating for her. To make matters worse, a familiar evil emerges from the shadows, stronger than ever, calling Ember back to the battlefield. The hope of finally achieving peace in the Shadow World shatters, as does Ember's hopes of living a simple, uncomplicated life with her family. Suddenly the perfect life doesn't seem perfect anymore. Tensions appear in places she never thought possible when a person from Jonathan's past makes an unwelcome reappearance, shaking them to the core with a surprising revelation, and suddenly she finds herself questioning the only thing she never thought she would ever have doubts about. It's bad enough to live with secrets, but when shadows are added to the mix, darkness always follows, and, well- Facilis descensus averno. Yes, the descent into hell is easy, and if there's anything Ember Fairose has learned in the Shadow World, it's that we are all so much lovelier when we fall.
