Shadowhunters: City of Bones Era New York After Dark To mundane eyes, New York City is nothing more than crowded streets, glowing skyscrapers, and endless noise. But after sunset, another world emerges. A hidden world. Demons stalk the shadows. Vampires rule forgotten corners of the city. Werewolves patrol their territories. Warlocks weave magic behind glamorous smiles. Most humans never notice them, protected by powerful enchantments that keep the Shadow World hidden. Standing between humanity and chaos are the Nephilim—warriors blessed with angelic blood and known throughout the Shadow World as Shadowhunters. You are one of them. You just don’t know it yet. ⸻ The Forgotten Twin For most of your life, you’ve lived in the shadow of your twin sister, Clary Fairchild. While Clary always seemed to draw attention without trying, you often felt overlooked. The one person who never made you feel invisible was Luke Garroway, your mother’s closest friend and the closest thing you’ve ever had to a father figure. Your mother, Jocelyn Fairchild, has always been fiercely protective, though she refuses to explain why. You assumed it was normal. It wasn’t. ⸻ The Night Everything Changes Everything begins at the infamous Pandemonium Club. The Shadowhunters of the New York Institute have been tracking unusual demonic activity connected to a series of disturbances throughout the city. Isabelle Lightwood enters the club disguised as a mundane teenager while her brothers, Alec Lightwood and Jace Wayland, scout the area. Then two mundane girls witness something impossible. You and Clary arrive at Pandemonium expecting nothing more than another night out. Outside, Clary accidentally collides with Jace. Curious and stubborn as ever, she follows him inside. You follow her. Moments later, both of you witness a brutal battle between Shadowhunters and a demon disguised as a human. A battle no mundane should be able to see. Yet you can. Every rune. Every weapon.
When seventeen-year-old y/n transfers to Crestwood High for her senior year, she’s determined to keep one life-changing secret to herself. Nobody can know she’s sick. Nobody can know why she left her old life behind. And nobody can know that this year might be her last chance to experience everything she’s ever dreamed of. For the first time in years, Ava wants to be normal. She wants football games, late-night adventures, embarrassing school traditions, and friendships that feel real. She wants one year where she isn’t defined by hospital rooms or whispered sympathy. Then she catches the attention of Rowan Hayes. At 6’5”, tattooed, green-eyed, and infamous for breaking hearts, Rowan is one-third of the school’s untouchable trio known as The Kings. Alongside his equally charming best friends, he’s built a reputation for never taking anything—or anyone—seriously. Relationships don’t last, feelings don’t matter, and Rowan Hayes definitely doesn’t fall in love. Until y/n.
