She had nothing left to live for, then, and so lived no longer.
This is the story she left behind, the story her lover will never know; this is the story her daughter will never know.
This is how a faerie loves: with her whole body and soul. This is how a faerie loves: with destruction.
I love you, she told him, night after night, for seven years. Faeries cannot lie, and he knew that.
I love you, he told her, night after night, for seven years. Humans can lie, and so she let him believe he lied to her, and she let his brother and his children believe it, and she died hoping they would believe it forever.
This is how a faerie loves: with a gift.

🚨 🚨 This is a happy and a sad story. I am happy for Simon and Isabel all I can say is finally!!, but sad for Helen. It’s sad what their doing to the fair folk. It’s sad Helen will never know the truth about her mother.

**MINOR SPOILERS**

This is the story that was not available in my paperback version of Clare's Tales of the Shadowhunter Academy, and was another story instead. Finally read it. Geez, I missed Izzy and just everything about her.

Also, understanding the prejudices and general divide between the two leading populace in the Shadow world allowed readers to reminisce the authentic good and evil. That it was not about whose group had the worst number of mistakes, but the decisions done after.

Nicely done, Simon.

The truth at the end, the truth that none of them will ever know destroyed me.

Yes, gawd! Something interesting finally happened and it's all down to Helen Blackthorn. I just love her character so much, she's almost reminds me of Molly Weasley a little, only younger and half Shadowhunter, Half Fey.
