In City of Ashes , the breathtaking sequel to City of Bones , Cassandra Clare lures her readers back into the dark clutches of the New York underworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation.
Clary Fray just wanted her life to go back to normal. But what's "normal" when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you suddenly discover that creatures like werewolves, vampires, and faeries actually exist?
If Clary were to leave the Shadowhunter world behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who is becoming more than just that. But the Shadowhunter world isn't willing to let go of Clary—especially the handsome and infuriating Jace, whom she happens to discover is her brother. And the only chance to save their mother seems to be to find the evil ex-Shadowhunter Valentine, who is not only evil and insane, but also Clary and Jace's father.
To complicate matters further, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlders. Could Valentine be behind these deaths? And if so, what is his goal? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives at the Institute to investigate—and her suspicions fall squarely on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine's evil plans if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help his father?
In this breathtaking sequel to The Mortal Instruments series, Cassandra Clare draws readers back into the darkest side of New York City's underworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation.
