   Summary

   Alec Lightwood is determined to get through his last year at Hogwarts in one piece. Despite nearly perfect grades and a spot on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, he never felt like he measured up to his parents' expectations. To make matters worse, his abysmal performance in Potions is a steady source of humiliation. As if having his parents constantly breathing down his neck wasn't bad enough, an outrageously handsome Slytherin is messing with his head.
