Synopsis
Edit
With her mother in a coma and her father hellbent on destroying the world, Clary Fray is dragged deeper into New York City's terrifying underworld of downworlders, demons and the mysterious Shadowhunters. Discovering the truth about her past was only the beginning. Now the fate of the world rests on Clary's shoulders, but can she master her new-found powers and control her feelings for a boy who can never be hers?
PlotEdit
PrologueEdit
Valentine Morgenstern and a Warlock named Elias are summoning the Greater Demon, Agramon. After the summon is successful, Agramon kills the young warlock. Valentine then speaks to him, telling him that he will obey him as he has the Mortal Cup, and Agramon "kneels" to him in allegiance.
Part One: A Season in HellEdit
Clary Fray, whose mother still hasn't woken up, and Jace who is being kicked out of his home by Maryse Lightwood. He goes to a bar and picks a fight with a werewolf pack, and is saved by Luke Garroway who calls Clary.
The three of them go to the Institute and confront Maryse, who said that the Inquistor is coming to talk with Jace and she was trying to spare him. When the Inquisitor arrives, she locks him in the City of Bones and that night Valentine kills The Silent Brothers to get the The Mortal Sword and Clary, Isabelle and Alec go to save Jace.
When they emerge the Inquisitor agrees to let Jace stay with Magnus Bane while he recovers. They go to the Faerie Realm and Clary is supposed to stay because she took Faerie food through a trick. To escape she kisses Jace passionately making Simon storm off when they get out of the realm. They're at the Institute when Raphael shows up with an almost dead Simon saying he'll be a vampire. They bury his dead body and Simon is reborn. At Luke's house, Maia Roberts, a werewolf, is attacked by a demon, and then Luke is attacked. They go after the Demons and that night Jace goes to visit his father on a boat in the river. The Inquisitor shows up the next morning and claims Jace is in cahoots with Valentine and plans to threaten Jace's life unless Valentine returns the Mortal Instruments. Of course, it doesn't work, and Jace leaps incredibly high out of the magic cage she set up.
At the river, Clary draws the Fearless rune on Jace and is taken by a Demon onto the ship to her father. The boat swarms with Shadowhunters and the Inquisitor ends up saving Jace's life after seeing the scar on his shoulder, and he goes into the boat, kills the fear-creating Demon, and gives Simon his blood to save his life. Clary inscribes a rune on the boat which makes the boat fall apart, and they learn that Simon is now able to walk in the sunlight. The book ends with Jace being welcome back in the Institute by Alec's mother and Clary going to the hospital and meeting a girl who knew her mother and says that she knows how to wake up Clary's mother, Jocelyn.
