Synopsis
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 New York Times
bestselling trilogy The Mortal Instruments.
