City of Redemption

Jonathan Morgenstern was supposed to be dead. Instead, he woke in prison under the Silent City with the Mark of Cain over his heart and very little recollection of what happened since the heavenly fire. Only his sister, mother, and a few others are willing to give him a second chance at redemption. However, dark forces refuse to stay down. Can the Shadow World learn to trust Jonathan to do the right thing and forgive him for his past mistakes? Can he?

*New goal: I PROMISE I'll try to get a chapter out every ten days! That's every 10th, 20th, and 30th of the month. Seven days was cutting it short for me, so hopefully this gives me more time to have things ready.

This is my first attempt at creating a full-scale fan fiction series of epic proportions based off of Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments. Most characters and creative content are credited to her.

SPOILERS ABOUND!: Most of my storyline gets its inspiration from the entire Mortal Instruments series and some content from The Infernal Devices. I strongly urge you to read the material if you haven't already and wish to know what's going on. I first began writing my fan fiction shortly after City of Heavenly Fire (CoHF) just came out. So, just for simplicity sake, other than an occasional reference to Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy, I try to treat all other work of fiction by Cassandra Clare as if it doesn't exist (ie. The Dark Artifices).

The entire series I am writing focuses mainly on the character Jonathan Morgenstern. This is my version of what would happen if he hadn't have died at the end of CoHF. It is a redemption saga. My story borrows from the last few chapters of CoHF in The Mortal Instruments book series and carries on from there. Although I love and appreciate how she handled the ending, I just loved this character so much that I had to give him a second chance at life!
