They say when the first Shadow Hunter was created, the great angel Raziel gave him three things after being summoned, The Cup, The Sword and The Mirror. Valentine has the Cup and the Sword… but the Mirror has been lost for almost forever… will Clary be able to find it before Valentine… all will be revealed.
Clary Fray was a simple girl, with a normal life and a reasonably human best friend. She was happy the way she was living with her Mum in an apartment, without her dad (which she knew barely anything about), who she thinks died in a car crash. It all goes horribly wrong when she has a fight with her Mum, and when she returns, what she finds will create the biggest change of events in her life she will ever experience.
Clary didn’t believe in demons, at least not until she met the shadow hunters.
Carly's world is turned upside down, backwards and every which way possible, everything she thought she knew was challenged, and it definitely doesn't help when the person she loves turns out to be her brother, and then he isn’t again... It definitely doesn't help when her best-friend turns into a Vampire who can stand in the light and not burn, and the rest of the vampires near are out to get him. She then discovers who her real father is, Valentine, and he believes the world must be free of demons, pure just as Raziel wished, but does Raziel really want it this way? He tries to kill all demons, and will stop at nothing to make this world pure; he will create as many forsaken, kill as many shadow hunters, and summon as many demons to get what he wants.
Clary's world is not what she thought it was, by the end of this book she discovers she did in fact kiss her brother, she discovers is part angel and that is why she can create new runes and her real brother is part demon and that is why he is insanely strong. Who will be able to save them? Raziel is their only hope for now.
