Bianca di Angelo had always loved stories. But she had never expected hers to turn out this way.

The Shadowhunter Academy, is stunned when a navy-skinned warlock baby is found on the Academy steps. They hand the child over to guest lecturer Magnus Bane, who has to bring a child home… temporarily, of course… to his man! (This is my take on how it goes down)

The "downworlders" go to one school, the "nephilim" go to another, and the students rarely mingle. But when the two schools merge, all hell breaks loose, and when Magnus and Alec meet, sparks fly. AU, AH. Mostly Malec but with hints of Sizzy, Clace and others. The Infernal devices characters are there but not as major characters.

Alec's life is the epitome of perfect; with a loving family, excellent grades, countless friends and the star of the school football team. What will Alec do when he comes face-to-face with a new student with a dark but not so mysterious past. While his heart, mind, body and soul tells him to get to know and help this new student, he is told to stay away. Which will he chose?
