Amid the chaos of war, the Shadowhunters must decide to fight with the vampires, werewolves and other Downworlders – or against them. Meanwhile, Jace and Clary have their own decisions to make: should they pursue the love they know is forbidden? This is the basic mystery that unfolds slowly in this book. Well, just as the books starts, it takes off directly with its characters, Jace and Clary, along with the other shadowhunters who are all on their way to Idris.
