When Clary Fray discovered that her father was the evil Shadowhunter Valentine, it was bad. When she discovered that her potential new love, Jace, was her brother, it was worse. But now Valentine has stolen the Mortal Sword from the Silent City and has the second of three mortal instruments under his control. With the power to create a demon army and destroy the Shadowhunters in his hands, the Shadowhunters are anxious to stop him, even if it means imprisoning Jace. While Clary struggles with her feelings for Jace, her friend Simon provides a welcome relief. But even he is not safe from the danger that pursues her. Clary, Jace, Simon, and their friends must try to find Valentine and stop him before Jace loses his freedom and his adopted family. In their adventures, they travel to Seelie Court, the home of the Faeries, have a (very) close encounter with the vampires, and test the strength of their relationships. Jace and Clary discover the extent of their powers and learn some things that surprise them both. (Colorado Blue Spruce Young Adult Book Award, 2011) |
