To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil - and also her father. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go - especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know.Ĭlary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons.

Nothing in this world can defeat Sebastian - but if they journey to the realm of demons, they just might have a chance. Bearing the Infernal Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his Endarkened army swell. Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Popular Crime & Action Series Expand submenu.
