   Summary

   Alexander Lightwood is a 16 years old Shadowhunter who lives with his 14 years old sister and his 15 years old adoptive brother and their parents, when they are not traveling which is rarely. They live a very secluded life as protector of the Shadow World and of the Mundane world with their Tutor, Hodge Starckweather.
   Alexander, called Alec, is a closeted gay Nephilim in a community where being different is never encouraged. Infatued with his adoptive brother Jace, Alec is tortured by fear and would cut his own hand before ever letting the younger boy know of his homosexuality.
   But when Alec meets Magnus Bane, powerful warlock eternally youthfull and handsome, he is pushed outside of his comfort zone and must deal with the jumble of his identity. From the parts of himself he knows and those he doesn’t, Alec will be sent on a path to discover who he is and will have to decide who he wants to be.
