Princess Clarissa just turned seventeen and is expected to marry...soon. However, none of the men in the kingdom catch her eye until her father hires a new horse trainer, Jace Herondale. He is beautiful, sarcastic, smart, and totally off limits. Not to mention that King Morgenstern is dead-set on Sebastian Verlac courting his daughter.

Ailiz Nightwolf leads a typical Shadowhunter life. She kills demons, hunts rogue Downworlders, and makes clever comebacks to Jace Wayland's comments. But all that changes when Clary Fray enters the picture. What is so special about this girl? Why has she lived as a mundane, although she's a Shadowhunter? As they find out, Ailiz is reunited with old friends and makes new friends.

When he finds out what's inside, he's surprised. (Major T rating) Jace/Clary. AU.
