Trust is dangerous, and to love is to destroy. Plunge into the fourth
installment in the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series
and "prepare to be hooked" (Entertainment Weekly).
The Mortal War is over, and sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is back home in
New York, excited about all the possibilities before her. She's training
to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. Her mother is
getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters
are at peace at last. And--most importantly of all--she can finally call
Jace her boyfriend.
But nothing comes without a price.
Someone is murdering Shadowhunters, provoking tensions between
Downworlders and Shadowhunters that could lead to a second, bloody war.
Clary's best friend, Simon, can't help her. His mother just found out
that he's a vampire and now he's homeless. Everywhere he turns, someone
wants him on their side--along with the power of the curse that's
wrecking his life. And they're willing to do anything to get what they
want. Not to mention that he's dating two beautiful, dangerous
girls--neither of whom knows about the other one.
When Jace begins to pull away from her without explaining why, Clary is
forced to delve into the heart of a mystery whose solution reveals her
worst nightmare: she herself has set in motion a terrible chain of
events that could lead to her losing everything she loves. Even Jace.
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. The stakes are higher than ever in City
of Fallen Angels.
