Summary:
The life seems good for the Shadowhunters of the New York City Institute. But not for long. Their peace is threatened when a hunting party goes missing, weird energy flares start happening all over city and a unique pair shows up at the Institute desperate for help. Alec’s hands are full as the Head of the Institute without their new guests bringing along a new enemy to their doorstep.
In front of them there stood two terror-stricken children with pale faces and tear-stained cheeks. Though they seemed well dressed, their clothes were covered in dirt and their feet were clad in mud. They were holding each other like a lifeline and looking at him with a look Alec couldn’t quite decipher. There was fear, relief, and uncertainty in the way they stared at him.
Alec knew one thing for sure: both were certainly too small to be wandering alone.
