Jace finds Clary and brings her to his home, a Gothic cathedral disguised to the outside world as a “mundie”. She meets his mentor and his siblings Isabelle and Alec Lightwood and learns they are all Shadowhunters and kill disguised demons. With the aid of a magical monk named Jeremiah, Clary and Jace travel to the mysterious City of Bonesto unravel the mystery of Clary’s powers. The “Silent Brothers” try to figure out why she can see them when no one else can reveals that there has been a block placed on Clary’s mind. She sees the name Magnus Bane in her mind, which leads her to find out that Magnus Bane is the high warlock and her mother asked him to place a block on Clary’s mind so that she could live her life as a normal teenager instead of being subjected to that world. Magnus will not break the spell, but he says that since there are cracks appearing in the spell the combination of truth and time will probably dissolve the spell eventually anyway.

Clary’s mundie friend Simon goes to a party but accepts a drink from a faerie disguised as a vampire and is promptly kidnapped. Clary and Jace go to rescue him, where they meet the head of the vampire coven, Raphael. They are rescued from the vamps by werewolves and Clary and Simon share a moment, which Jace observes. Alec later tells Clary that he wants her to go back to her world because she’s putting Jace in danger. They have a disagreement and Alec leaves.

Jace goes to a bar where he sees a slain child werewolf and does not agree to help the pack, whereupon the pack attacks him and Luke comes out of nowhere to save him.

   Hello Ms. Clare!

   I wanted to say I’m a huge fan. I can’t go to signings or anything like that with 2 babies now but I’ve been hooked with your shadow hunter books since i first set my eyes on city of bones. I was wondering what the order of the books are? I have all your books I believe but im not completely sure when I look online. I know I don’t have the chain of gold or iron yet, but I’m working on it. I have the mortal instruments, the infernal devices, the dark artifices, the bane chronicles, and shadow hunter academy. Were there any im missing?
