To save her mother’s life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters—never mind that entering 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 Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters 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 third installment of bestselling series the Mortal Instruments.

Modern young adult urban fantasy was reshaped by expansive supernatural sagas that weave secret angelic warrior societies into contemporary cityscapes, most notably through the universe of The Mortal Instruments. Author Cassandra Clare introduced readers to this hidden realm in her debut novel, City of Bones, which established a New York Times bestselling franchise centered on half-angelic Nephilim protecting humanity from demons.
Her rich worldbuilding spans centuries of fictional history across multiple interconnected series, following generations of Shadowhunters, warlocks, vampires, werewolves, and faeries as they navigate intricate political alliances, ancient curses, and perilous romantic ties.
Born Judith Rumelt in Tehran, Iran, on July 27, 1973, to American parents, she spent much of her early childhood traveling internationally with her family and trunks of fantasy books. Before turning ten years old, she lived in France, England, and Switzerland, including a month-long toddler trek through the Himalayas in her father's backpack. During her high school years in Los Angeles, she wrote stories to entertain classmates, including a narrative called "The Beautiful Cassandra" inspired by Jane Austen. After college, she worked part-time in a children's bookstore and spent several years as an entertainment journalist for publications such as The Hollywood Reporter before transitioning to full-time fiction writing. She later married Joshua Lewis and settled in Massachusetts with her family and two cats.
Clare's urban and historical fantasy narratives combine fast-paced action, emotional character arcs, witty dialogue, and intricate mythologies grounded in folklore, demonology, and classical literature. Her story arcs frequently focus on secret identities, found family, multi-generational inheritances, and the moral choices of young protagonists operating inside complex hidden societies. By connecting modern urban settings like New York City with historical eras and elaborate family trees, her books maintain a deep continuity across multiple companion series.
