City of Ashes
by Cassandra Clare (Author)
Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, but the underworld just isn't ready to let her go – especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who just happens to be her father. To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings – and if so, why? And how can she stop the slayings?
