Clary Fray's life couldn't be more mundane. That is, until her 18th birthday when she witnesses 3 teenagers murder a group of monsters. Clary soon learns that she is a Shadowhunter, a half-angel being that protects humans from demons. When her mother is kidnapped by a group called The Circle, Clary and her new Shadowhunters friends (Jace Wayland and the Lightwood siblings), plus her oldest and best friend Simon will stop at nothing to get her back and save the Shadow World from danger.
