Clockwork Prince
The situation at the London Institute has never been more precarious. With Mortmain and his clockwork army still threatening, the Council wants to strip Charlotte of her power and hand the running of the Enclave over to the unscrupulous and power-hungry Benedict Lightwood. In the hope of saving Charlotte and the Institute, Tessa sets out to unravel the secrets of Mortmain's past. Tessa, already caught between the affections of Will and Jem, finds herself with another choice to make when she learns how the Shadowhunters helped make her a 'monster'. Will she turn from them to her brother, Nate, who has been begging her to join him at Mortmain's side? Where will her loyalties lie? Tessa alone can choose to save the Shadowhunters of London – or end them forever.

The Infernal Devices series acts as a prequel to Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments books, set 130 years prior to the events of City of Bones. These books chronicle the adventures of sixteen-year-old Downworlder girl Tessa Gray in a steampunk-style Victorian London.
In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Searching for her missing brother, sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray descends into London's dark supernatural underworld and finds herself up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans.
Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork demons, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her Shadowhunter allies can stop them.
