About This Book

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder—much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons.

Clary's life changes forever when she witnesses demons being hunted by Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. When her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by demons, she learns she's part of a hidden world. Guided by the mysterious Jace and his fellow Shadowhunters Alec and Isabelle, Clary discovers she has abilities she never knew existed and must help rescue her mother while uncovering secrets about her own past.

Why Twilight Fans Will Love It

This urban fantasy combines romance, family secrets, and a world filled with supernatural creatures—much like Twilight. Clary's discovery of Shadowhunters and her connection with the charming yet brooding Jace feels like stepping into a darker, more dangerous version of Bella's journey. With plenty of action, romance, and compelling love triangles, this is perfect for Twilight fans.
