PROLOGUE

England, 1879

A loud knocking came from the institute door as Tessa ran towards it.

"Hold on I am coming hold your horses!" Tessa yelled from the door.

The knocking stopped as soon as Tessa replied back. As she peered out the door there was no one too be found. Upon closing the door shut she heard a cry of a child coming from outside the sanctuary door.

Once again Tessa opened the institute door and peered around, there was no one to be found. As she looked down she saw a basket. Inside this basket was a dirty rag covering a small child with a letter attached to it.

"WILL, CHARLOTTE, HENRY!" Tessa yelled as the baby continued to wail. As she picked up the child out of the basket while taking off her coat to provide warmth for the naked babe, she read who the letter was addressed too.

"GWILYM OWAINS"

"What is it Tess?" Will said as he approached the door. "Is that a baby?"

"No it's vicious dog trying to bite my face off, of course it is a baby William!" Tessa snapped at William.

"Calm down Tessa dear, I'm sure someone mistaken the institute for an orphanage. Is there any clue as to who the child belongs to or where it is meant to go?"

"Only a letter to Gwilym Owains? It sounds Gaelic."

Will stared down at the child in Tessa's arms, as his eyes widen noticing something familiar about the child. "Gwilym Owains is me," he states nervously, taking the letter from Tessa's hand.

"Will?" Tessa replies anxiously.

"It's written in demon blood, but why to me?" He says running his fingers over his name.

"Are you not going to open the letter?"

Will stares at the baby once more, while tapping the letter between his hand and the air. He stands there for another minute, before he decides to tear it open and read it.

'MAE'R BABAN YN EIDDO I CARSTAIRS JAMES'

Mae'r baban yn eiddo i Carstairs James, is all the letter says.

"Will, does the letter say?" Tessa asks getting more anxious.

Will turns he's face away from the letter and to Tessa. "This baby is property of James Carstairs."

"What does that mean?" She asks rocking the baby to sleep while stroking her ginger hair.

"It means that we need to send a fire message out to Magnus and Brother Zachariah," Walking into the institute to go find Charlotte.

"Will, we can't keep calling Jem every time you have a problem." Charlotte says to William.

"Charlotte, darling, this time it isn't William's problem it's James' problem we must call him," Henry told his wife in a soft voice that made her melt.

"If we must than, but why must we disturb Magnus? What does this child play in his life?" Charlotte turns herself beck to face Will.

"Look into her eyes…." Will trails off.

Charlotte looks at the baby in Tessa's arms who's staring write back at her. Violet eyes? "She's a Warlock?" Lifting her head back to William.

"Magnus needs to hide her from the clave before they find out there is another child like Tess!"

"Jem must know first though." Tessa buts into the conversation.

Will crosses the room back to Tessa's side, wrapping one arm around her waist comforting her.

"Then I will call Brother Zachariah…and Magnus Bane." Charlotte leaves the drawing to go send out a message.

You summoned me, Charlotte? Jem said.

"Yes James, By the Angel I thought this would be easier…." Charlotte trails off into her head.

What is the meaning of calling me here?

"We had a delivery of sorts today….a baby…your baby, Jem." She looks down to the floor.

I do not know what you are speaking of Charlotte, I do not have a child…..perhaps…..no it can't be demons can't have children. He thinks out loud.

"What are you talking about, James?"

Before I became a brother, one night Tessa came to me and we, you know and well….the only problem is that it wasn't Tessa it was a higher demon that shifted into Tessa. It was too late before I could do anything.

"How did you know it was a demon?"

Because it shifted as it jumped out the window. Jem looks to the floor, this event did not happen at the institute if that is what you're thinking. It happened at an inn when I went to look for yin fen when Will went on assignments.

"Nothing's impossible Jem you know that." Charlotte reaches up to hug him and comfort him.

What does she look like?

"Beautiful, she has your completion. Although she doesn't look a lot like you, I can tell her heart will be as big as yours is." Charlotte smiles at him.

What is her name? What will happen to her? Jem echoes anxiously.

"She will move between the Branwells, the Herondales and the Lightwoods until her 17th birthday than she will move to America and train there with Magnus being his apprentice." She says as her smile falters but then brightens as she says , " And Will wanted you to name her as she is most likely yours."

May I see her? Jem hesitated to ask.

"Of course," Jem follows Charlotte to the child's crib that henry had originally made for Charles but decided that he was too big for it.

The little girl looks up at Jem with delight and gives him somewhat of a toothless grin and reaches for him.

Jem strokes her hair, Violetta Bleddyn Wen Carstairs.

"Why Violetta Bleddyn?" Charlotte asked.

Her name matches the colour of her eyes, and to acknowledge her father's parabatai's background. I can tell she'll grow up strong and ferocious like a wolf hence the Bleddyn. Jem turns his head towards Charlotte, I want her hidden from the clave as much as she can be until she figures out and harnesses her powers.

"I couldn't have put it better myself and with Magnus as her mentor she will surely be a powerful warlock."

She sure will be, what happened to the demon that birthed her? Jem thinks turning his head back to Violetta as she yawns.

"Magnus Bane found the Demon's body rotting somewhere it looked like it died giving birth to Violetta." Charlotte said looking Violetta

She's not even a Shadowhunters and she's killing powerful demons. Jem thought out loud trying to smile.
