The first novel in the new Shadowhunters trilogy by bestselling author Cassandra Clare! 

Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons. Her father is accused of a terrible crime and her mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a hero rather than a bride.

Soon Cordelia's childhood friends are drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms, secret assignations, and supernatural salons, where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians. Meanwhile, she must hide her secret love for James, who is sworn to marry someone else.

But Cordelia's new life is blown apart when a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. These monsters are nothing like those Shadowhunters have fought before - these demons walk in daylight, strike down the unwary with incurable poison, and seem impossible to kill. 

Evil is hiding in plain sight and the only thing more dangerous than fighting demons is falling in love…
