CHAPTER 1: PROLOGUE

The war between the European and Middle Eastern shadowhunters had waged on for approximately a decade. It was unforgiving and brutal, killing almost 500,000 shadowhunters in total. It started in 2000 and ended recently in 2010. The reason behind this cruel war is unknown like most wars a number of factors were associated with it. Like with Word War 1 it all started with one man, while in this particular war, many shadowhunters have declared it was because two institutes: the British Institute and the Bahraini Institute have been disagreeing over a certain problem that was and still is top secret. Nobody in the entire supernatural world knows this reason, the reason that caused the bloodiest war ever to destroy several cities and wreak havoc on innocent, unsuspecting shadowhunters and downworlders. Also, nobody would suspect that in 2014 the person or people to discover this reason would be two 16-year-old parabatai.
