City of Bones

Clary's night starts out innocently enough at a club, but in just a few hours, events twist. Her eyes are opened to the world of vampires, faeries, werewolves and the Shadowhunters, the powerful fighters that keep the demons under control. When she tries to ignore the dawning truth, her mother is kidnapped, forcing Clary to join the world of the Shadowhunter to free her mother. Leading the young Shadowhunters is Jace, a sarcastic teenager with a deadly aim and killer looks. As Clary and Jace battle to discover the whereabouts of her mother, the world teeters perilously close to an all out war.

The first in The Mortal Instruments trilogy, City of Bones is a thrilling adventure full of danger, wit and love.
