In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray
has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that
safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot
to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the
Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be
out on the street—and easy prey for the mysterious Magister,
who wants to use Tessa’s powers for his own dark ends.
With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the
fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s
war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them
for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel
the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from
mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold
horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom
where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is
more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a
clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize
that the Magister himself knows their every move—and that
one of their own has betrayed them.
Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, though her
longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to
unsettle her. But something is changing in Will—the wall he
has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the
Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the
answers about who she is and what she was born to do?
As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth
leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love
and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.
