The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in the first novel in
Cassandra Clare’s newest series, The Dark Artifices, a
sequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments
series. Lady Midnight is a Shadowhunters novel.
It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly
Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of
oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning,
but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her
parents and avenging her losses.
Together with her parabatai Julian Blackthorn, Emma must
learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a
demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the
Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of
Santa Monica. If only her heart didn’t lead her in
treacherous directions…
Making things even more complicated, Julian’s brother
Mark—who was captured by the faeries five years ago—has been
returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to
find out who is murdering their kind—and they need the
Shadowhunters’ help to do it. But time works differently in
faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn’t recognize his
family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries
really allow it?
Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters abound in this
heartrending opening to Cassandra Clare’s Dark Artifices series.
