The special Collector's First Edition will include a
never-before-seen letter from Will to his family!
In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at
last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves
fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector,
Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses
her position, Tessa will be out on the street-and easy prey for the
mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa's powers for his own
dark ends.
With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the
fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister's war on
the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago
tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the
past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor
house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an
enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her
parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they
encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they
realize that the Magister himself knows their every move-and that
one of their own has betrayed them.
Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, though her
longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle
her. But something is changing in Will-the wall he has built around
himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his
secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she
was born to do?
As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads
the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are
mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.
