Mortal Instruments Bk 2: City Of Ashes [Paperback] Cassandra Clare

Clary thought saving her mother and stopping Valentine would be the end of it. She was wrong. New York's Downworld is fracturing, the Clave is hunting Jace's father, and Jace himself is pulling away — cold, distant, unreachable. When demons start attacking Shadowhunters and leaving a trail of bodies, suspicion falls on Valentine's son. But the real threat is darker than anyone imagined, and it's targeting the people Clary loves most. Clare amps up the stakes in this second installment, diving deeper into the Shadow World's politics while twisting the knife on the Clary-Jace relationship. The action is faster, the betrayals sting harder, and the cliffhanger will make you reach for Book 3 immediately. Perfect for fans of urban fantasy with bite, complicated family drama, and romances that hurt so good.
