in City of Bones, growing close to her. Isabelle and Alec later say that they noticed a change in Jace's behavior after he started getting close to Clary. In City of Glass, Isabelle tells Clary that before Jace met her, he was apathetic and only half-alive as if in a long-time sleep, but that after his first encounter with her, Jace "woke up" and "started living". Isabelle further claims that she has never seen him act the way he does with Clary and states that Jace will never get over her. Throughout the series, Jace continuously loves Clary even after he believes they are siblings, to the extent that he is willing to commit incest with her and have a secret relationship. He has been with a couple of girls (though it being stated as more as just hooking up) and tries to start a relationship with Aline Penhallow in a failed attempt to get over Clary. Clary and Jace reunite at the end of the third book after discovering they are not siblings. By Lady Midnight, the first book in the third series (The Dark Artifices) of Shadowhunters, Jace has proposed to Clary. They are 23 and 24 respectively. However, she refuses him, because she believes that she is going to die (she has been having visions of her lying dead, and Jace is crying over her dead body). Clary admits to Emma at the beginning of the second book, Lord of Shadows, that Jace has, in fact, proposed to her, but she is afraid that she will die, leaving Jace without his love/wife. By Queen of Air And Darkness, however, we discover that she had, in fact, been having visions of Thule, where Jace is Endarkened and Clary is dead. Clary proposes to Jace, and he agrees. We see the chapter end on them kissing, and the Midnight Flower opens in front of them, unnoticed.
