Prologue

Shadowhunters are at war with Demons and their children, the Warlocks.

Alec Lightwood is sent to the enemy's palace to find and break into it's archives. He hopes that hiding in plain sight, acting as a usual mundane servant will stop the warlocks and demons from looking his way.

Much to his discomfort, Magnus Bane, the son of Asmodeus, starts to talk to him, turning out not to be as cruel as his father.

Will the Shadowhunter be able to hide his identity and conflicted feelings?
