City of Ashes

Picking up shortly after the events of City of Bones, Clary Fray just wants her life to return to normal. She wants to be a regular teenager, but she’s still a Shadowhunter—one of the few capable of seeing the demons, vampires, and werewolves that hunt in the shadows of New York City. As her relationship with the brooding and magnetic Jace Wayland grows increasingly complicated and tragic, a new, sinister threat emerges: someone is murdering Downworlder children, and all signs point to Clary's own father, the rogue Shadowhunter Valentine.
