As Jace looked up, Isabelle caught his eye and gave him an encouraging wave. It was broken up into larger and smaller boulders, and atop one of the larger boulders perched Alec and Isabelle Lightwood. They were seated opposite each other on a patch of browning grass in a clearing in Central Park, both cross-legged, their hands on their knees, palms up.Īn outcropping of rock rose from the ground near them.
