These monsters are nothing like those the Shadowhunters have fought before - these demons walk in daylight, strike down the unwary with incurable poison and seem impossible to kill. But Cordelia's new life is blown apart when a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. All the while, she must hide her secret love for James, who is sworn to marry someone else. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale and is drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms, secret assignations and supernatural salons, where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians. Cordelia's mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a hero rather than a bride. When her father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother travel to Edwardian London in the hope of preventing the family's ruin. Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Cassandra Clare comes the first novel in a brand new trilogy where evil hides in plain sight and love cuts deeper than any blade.
