Alec, Isabelle and Clary are desperate to find Jace, but are quickly stopped in their tracks with the arrival of Victor Aldertree, who means business about getting the Institute back on track.

Love Is a Devil

With word getting out that Clary is a key part of Valentine’s plan, the Downworlders are at odds on how to handle the issue.
