Sixteen-year-old Clary Fray thinks she is just an ordinary teenager living a normal life in Brooklyn. But everything changes during a night out at a New York City club, where she witnesses a bizarre murder committed by three teenagers covered in strange tattoos and wielding medieval weapons. Even more shocking, the victim's body vanishes into thin air. This is Clary's terrifying introduction to the Shadowhunters, a secret, ancient order of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty-four hours, Clary's world is completely shattered: her mother mysteriously disappears, and Clary herself is attacked by a grotesque monster. Drawn into a hidden reality filled with warlocks, vampires, and the infuriatingly gorgeous Shadowhunter Jace, Clary must quickly uncover the truth about her own past. Why are demons suddenly hunting an ordinary girl, and how did she suddenly acquire the Sight to see them?
