Clary Fray discovers a hidden world of Shadowhunters — half-angel warriors who hunt demons in modern-day New York.
About the series
Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments kicked off the sprawling Shadowhunter Chronicles. Fifteen-year-old Clary Fray witnesses a murder at a New York nightclub that no one else seems to remember — and discovers a hidden world of Shadowhunters, half-angel warriors who hunt demons, alongside vampires, werewolves, warlocks, and the Fae.
Recommended reading order
Read the six main novels in publication order. The wider Shadowhunter universe also includes the Victorian-set Infernal Devices trilogy (which works as a prequel or companion), The Dark Artifices, and The Last Hours — start with The Mortal Instruments if you want the original story, or with Clockwork Angel if you prefer to begin chronologically.
