In a small South Carolina town, where it seems little has changed since the Civil War, sixteen-year-old Ethan is powerfully drawn to Lena, a new classmate with whom he shares a psychic connection, and whose family hides a dark secret that may be revealed on her sixteenth birthday.
To save her mother’s life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters — never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and her best friend, Simon, has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight. As Clary uncovers more about her family’s past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he’s willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City — whatever the cost? Love is a mortal sin and the secrets of the past prove deadly as Clary and Jace face down Valentine in the final installment of the New York Times bestselling The Mortal Instruments.
Date un'occhiata a Selena Miles, seduta là nel parco. Ha l'aria annoiata, vero? È perché pensa che non le accada niente di straordinario. Ma Selena sta per scoprire la verità sul suo conto, la sua vera identità, i suoi superpoteri. Peccato che ci superpoteri. Peccato che ci sia un prezzo da pagare. Selena ha un nemico, un acerrimo nemico che la vuole morta. Forse era meglio prima, quando ci si annoiava, ma ormai è troppo tardi.
