To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters – never mind that enter-ing the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.
As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadow-hunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadow-hunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City – whatever the cost?
Love is a mortal sin and the secrets of the past prove deadly as Clary and Jace face down Valentine in the final installment of the bestselling trilogy The Mortal Instruments.
About the 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
