City of Bones

The story follows fifteen-year-old Clary Fray, whose life is turned upside down when she witnesses a murder at a trendy New York City nightclub—a murder committed by three teenagers covered in strange tattoos and wielding bizarre weapons. Soon, Clary discovers that she is not a normal teenager, but a Shadowhunter—a member of a secret society of demon-slayers tasked with protecting the human world from the supernatural forces of the "Downworld." When her mother vanishes, Clary must team up with the arrogant yet captivating Shadowhunter Jace Wayland to navigate this hidden, perilous world and uncover the dark truths of her own heritage.
