About the book
A New York City teenager stumbles into the paranormal world of angels and demons in the book that started it all—the “funny, dark, and sexy” (Holly Black) first installment of the New York Times and internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. City of Bones is a Shadowhunters novel. A simple night out with her best friend, Simon, transforms into a nightmare when fifteen-year-old Clary Fray witnesses a murder at the Pandemonium Club. The culprits are three teenagers covered in strange tattoos and brandishing weapons no one else seems to notice. In fact, Clary is the only one to see the violent display. The next day, more impossible sights make Clary wonder if she’s going crazy. When a desperate phone call from her mom brings Clary home to a scene of destruction and a grotesque monster that almost kills her, Clary finally gets some answers.
