There the Downworlders buy and sell magical objects, make dark bargains, and whisper secrets they do not want the Nephilim to know. "I see him," Jem said, and he held her even more tightly against him, the new life they had created together between them.The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks and vampires.
"I can hardly wait to meet such a paragon." "Do you see him too?" Tessa whispered.
"A new soul made of you and Tessa," Will said. Behind his lids, he did not see darkness but the light of a London morning and Will there, smiling at him. All three had risen in love through their struggles to find happiness - and without the struggle, would the happiness have been so great? He closed his eyes and pressed a kiss to Tessa's hair. She too had been a child born of storms, he thought, as had he, as had Will. He thought about Tessa, her will and her strength, her refusal to let loss after loss harden her against love, her refusal to hide any longer from the brutality of the mortal world, her determination to fight, to hold on. He and Tessa have been alive too long to deceive themselves, and he thought about what might happen to a child born at the eye of such a storm. He thought of all the blood that had been shed these last few years, the growing sense among the Shadowhunters he knew that something dark was rising, that this Cold Peace after the war might be only the eerie calm at the eye of the hurricane, those still, silent moments in which it was possible to deceive yourself into imagining the worst was over. The future was so precarious, shadowed by a looming danger neither of them fully understood, and Jem wondered what kind of world his child would be born into. “He took her in his arms then, imagining the life growing inside of her and the future they would have together, a family, more love to fill the absences left by those they'd lost, more love than either of them had ever imagined still possible.
