With a name like Salem Bloodthorn, it's impossible to escape the endless careless remarks of her secretly being a witch. The truth, however, was far from that. While being born to a Warlock father and a Shadowhunter mother, Salem was anything but magical. Left with no special abilities despite her heritage, she led a normal life, only to experience the wonders of a separate world through the stories she was told as a child. Now, after losing her parents in a senseless attack, Salem is left to navigate the world alone with only secondhand knowledge to guide her through when she is unexpectedly thrusted into the very world she only ever heard about.
