The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in this #1 New York Times and
USA TODAY bestselling 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 who
killed her parents and avenging her losses.
Together with her battle partner 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.
