A forbidden journey to the Shadowhunters’ ancestral city

In the third Mortal Instruments novel, Clary’s attempt to save her mother takes her to the City of Glass, where entering without permission carries severe consequences. The city brings her into contact with Shadowhunter suspicion, a family history still unfolding, and competing loyalties among Shadowhunters and Downworlders. As Valentine threatens their world, the central conflict expands from Clary’s personal mission to whether long-standing enemies can cooperate. The book combines urban fantasy with questions of inherited history, mistrust between groups, and the risks people take to protect one another.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers following the Mortal Instruments series, particularly its third installment.
  • Young adult fantasy readers interested in supernatural factions and a conflict involving rival groups.
  • Readers who enjoy stories combining a personal rescue mission with a larger threat to a community.

Book overview

Now with a gorgeous new cover, a map, a new foreword, and exclusive bonus content!

Clary and her allies risk everything to save the world in the searingly passionate third book in the New York Times and internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. City of Glass is a Shadowhunters novel.

To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters--never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.

As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City--whatever the cost?
