(An ALA Teens' Top Ten Book) To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters, in this third book in the Mortal Instruments series—even though entering the city without permission could mean death. As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she seems to find an ally in the mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian, and learns that Valentine is mustering a demon army to destroy all Shadowhunters not bound to him. But will Clary be able to convince the Shadowhunters that their only chance to defeat Valentine is to fight alongside their ancient rivals, the vampires, werewolves, and other Downworlders? Wildly popular with fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other urban fantasy series in print and on screen, Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series for young adults chronicles the adventures of a group of teenaged demon hunters in New York City. The first three books in the series, including this one, were voted into the annual Teens' Top Ten list of the Young Adult Library Services division of the ALA. "As the children of the Moon (werewolves), Night (vampires), and Faerie gather for a war that will rend the heavens, Clary calls upon her untrained powers to control an angel who will save or destroy them all. Readers should be familiar with the first two installments in the Mortal Instruments series, but there is nevertheless plenty of romance, loss, honor, and betrayal to make the journey worthwhile. An experienced storyteller, Clare moves the plot quickly to a satisfying end."—Booklist
