A #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller
Sunny Los Angeles can be a dark place indeed in Cassandra Clare's
Lord of Shadows, the bestselling sequel to Lady Midnight. Lord of
Shadows is a Shadowhunters novel.
Emma Carstairs has just learned that the love she shares with her
warrior partner and parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, isn't just
forbidden--it could destroy them both. She knows she should run from
Julian. But how can she when the Blackthorn family is threatened by
enemies on all sides?
Their only hope is the Black Volume of the Dead, a spell book of
terrible power. Everyone wants it. Only the Blackthorns can find it.
Spurred on by a dark bargain with the Seelie Queen, Emma; her best
friend, Cristina; and Mark and Julian Blackthorn embark on a journey
into the Courts of Faerie, where glittering revels hide bloody danger
and no promise can be trusted.
As dangers close in, Julian devises a risky new scheme that depends on
the cooperation of an unpredictable enemy. But success may come with a
price he and Emma cannot even imagine, one that will have repercussions
for everyone and everything they hold dear.
