Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons.
When her father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother travel to London in hopes
of preventing the family’s ruin. Cordelia’s mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is
determined to be a hero rather than a bride. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends
James and Lucie Herondale and is drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms, secret
assignations, and supernatural salons, where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids
and magicians. All the while, she must hide her secret love for James, who is sworn to marry someone else. Find out more at https://www.cassandraclare.com/books/…
