Normal keeps slipping further out of Clary Fray’s reach. Her mother lies under a spell, her father Valentine has returned as a deadly enemy, and New York’s hidden world of Shadowhunters, vampires, werewolves, faeries, and warlocks is no longer something she can walk away from. As Downworlder children begin turning up dead and the Soul-Sword, one of the Mortal Instruments, disappears, suspicion tightens around Jace. Clary is torn between the human life she misses, her growing feelings for Simon, and the dangerous pull of a Shadowhunter world that demands loyalty before trust. To save her mother and stop Valentine, she must learn whom to believe before power and fear tear every alliance apart. This second Mortal Instruments novel is a fast-paced YA fantasy for readers who like urban magic, tense family secrets, paranormal danger, and romance complicated by impossible choices.

To save her mother's life, Clary Fray must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters.

With the evil Valentine gathering a massive army of demons to destroy the city, Downworlders and Shadowhunters will have to do the impossible: fight alongside each other. In a desperate race against time, Clary must harness her unique magical abilities to help save the world she is only just beginning to understand.
