Publisher Description
The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in this #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling novel in Cassandra Clare’s newest series, The Dark Artifices, a sequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series.
It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire 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 who killed her parents and avenging her losses.
Together with her battle partner 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?
Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters abound in this heartrending opening to Cassandra Clare’s Dark Artifices series.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The first book in a new series by the author of the Mortal Instruments books follows the Shadowhunters to Los Angeles. We enjoyed reconnecting with familiar characters Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn, who are now teenagers and parabatai (a.k.a. battle partners). Cassandra Clare introduces us to the alluring Blackthorn family and has a wonderful time putting a supernatural twist on the real-life urban and beach settings of her California hometown. We loved getting wrapped up in the mystery of who killed Emma’s parents—and the romance of the two protagonists’ forbidden love.

I loved this book very much! I love all of Cassandra Clare’s books and refuse to choose a favourite, but this one is definitely in my top three. And coming from me that’s high praise! This book and all of the Shadowhunter novels are wonderful! This book is a must read for Shadowhunter fans!
