Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to
normal. 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 the
Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go -- especially
her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. 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.
To complicate
matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder
children. Is Valentine behind the killings -- and if he is,
what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal
Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying
Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on
Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to
betray everything he believes in to help their father?
In
this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra
Clare lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York
City's Downworld, where love is never safe and power becomes
the deadliest temptation.
