...
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder?much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos & brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. Its hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else & when there is nothing?not even a smear of blood?to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? This is Clarys first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Its also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel & acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jaces world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears & Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary & her mother? & how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know... Exotic & gritty, Cassandra Clares ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end. This book set
