Lady Midnight

by Cassandra Clare · 2016

When the Shadowhunters of Los Angeles think they’ve survived the worst of the war, a new darkness rises from the streets of the city. Emma Carstairs, the fierce and fiercely loyal leader of the Carstairs clan, is forced to confront a secret society of rogue Shadowhunters known as the Dark Artifices, who are bent on resurrecting an ancient, malevolent force. As alliances shift and old wounds reopen, Emma must balance her love for her best friend and fellow Shadowhunter, Julian, with the growing bond she shares with the enigmatic and tormented Magnus Bane. Together with her loyal friends—Jace, the charismatic war hero; the witty and resourceful Kieran; and the steadfast, battle‑scarred Alec—Emma races against time to uncover the truth behind the Midnight Hunt, a series of brutal murders that threaten to plunge the city into chaos. With the stakes higher than ever, secrets are revealed, loyalties are tested, and the line between light and darkness blurs, forcing Emma to decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to protect the world she loves.
