Lady Midnight: The Dark Artifices Book 1 by Cassandra Clare (paperback)

Product Info Book 1 in Cassandra Clare's The Dark Artifices book series. The Dark Artifices series is a sequel to Cassandras bestselling Mortal Instruments series. LADY MIDNIGHT is set five years after the events of City of Heavenly Fire (last book in the Mortal Instruments series) that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her parents and avenging her losses.  Together with her parabatai Julian Blackthorn, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica. If only her heart didn't lead her in treacherous directions.  Making things even more complicated, Julian's brother Mark-who was captured by the faeries five years ago-has been returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kind-and they need the Shadowhunters' help to do it. But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn't recognize his family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it?  Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters are abound in this opening to Cassandra Clare's Dark Artifices series.  Recommended age: 15+ APN: 9781471116612   Product Code 393476050_393474070
