ACES #1
Clary has to go to the City of Glass, the Shadowhunters' ancestral home, in order to rescue her mother. She doesn't care that going within the city without authorization is illegal and that doing so might result in death. To make matters worse, she finds out that Simon has been imprisoned by the Shadowhunters, who are very wary of a vampire who can tolerate sunlight, and that Jace does not want her there.
Clary finds a supporter in the enigmatic Shadowhunter Sebastian as she learns more about her family's history. Fighting with their everlasting adversaries is their only hope to stop Valentine, who is gathering all of his might to annihilate all Shadowhunters forever. Can Downworlders and Shadowhunters, however, set aside their animosity and cooperate? Even if Jace is aware of the extent of his willingness to risk everything for Clary, would she be able to use her newly acquired abilities to preserve the Glass City at any cost?
In the third chapter of the New York Times bestselling series The grave Instruments, Clary and Jace take on Valentine and discover that love is a grave sin and that secrets from the past may be deadly.
