Love, blood, betrayal and revenge – the stakes are higher than ever in the
fourth book in the bestselling Mortal Instruments sequence
Simon Lewis is having some trouble adjusting to his new life as a vampire,
especially now that he hardly sees his best friend Clary, who is caught up in
training to be a Shadowhunter – and spending time with her new boyfriend,
Jace. Simon decides he needs a break and heads out of the city – only to
discover that sinister events are following him. Realizing that the war they
thought they'd won might not yet be over, Simon has to call on his Shadowhunter
friends to save the day – if they can put their own splintering relationships
on hold long enough to rise to the challenge.
“Simon has always been one of my favourite characters to write about, and
I’m excited to get the chance to tell his story while revisiting some of the
other characters that I love from The Mortal Instruments series.” –
Cassandra Clare on City of Fallen Angels.
Reviews for series
“The Mortal Instruments series is a story world I want to live in”
Stephenie Meyer, author of ‘Twilight’.
“Funny, dark and sexy … Cassie's writing makes my toes curl with
envy.” Holly Black, author of “The Spiderwick Chronicles”.
“Like “Twilight,” vampires and werewolves populate The Mortal
Instruments’s fantasy world, but the trilogy – which wraps up with the
March 24 release of “City of Glass” – is chiefly concerned with more
heavenly matters: the nephilim, humans with angel blood in their veins. The
series follows 15-year-old Brooklyn girl Clary Fray’s whirlwind introduction
to the world of Shadowhunters, nephilim warriors who protect oblivious humans
from dangers presented by vamps, werewolves and other kinds of baddies. If you
thought that human Bella and vampire Edward’s relationship was fraught with
issues, imagine how much more traumatic it is for Clary to find out that the guy
she’s in love with might just be…”-The New York Post
