The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in the first novel in Cassandra Clareās newest series, The Dark Artifices, a sequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. Lady Midnight is a Shadowhunters novel.
Itās been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her parents and avenging her losses.
Together with her parabatai Julian Blackthorn, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica. If only her heart didnāt lead her in treacherous directionsā¦
Making things even more complicated, Julianās brother Markāwho was captured by the faeries five years agoāhas been returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kindāand they need the Shadowhuntersā help to do it. But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesnāt recognize his family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it?
Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters abound in this heartrending opening to Cassandra Clareās Dark Artifices series.
