About this book

When a dark magic binds Jace to his evil brother Sebastian, Clary faces an impossible choice: save the boy she loves, or stop a threat that could destroy them all. With the stakes higher than ever—and Jace's very soul hanging in the balance—Clary must navigate a dangerous game of alliances with Seelies, demons, and the Iron Sisters while grappling with a heartbreaking question: can she still trust the person Jace has become? This gripping installment plunges the Shadowhunters into their darkest hour yet, where love and loyalty are tested against the price of survival.

“Create a playlist called City of Lost Souls. Dark gothic romance with haunting orchestral undertones, sensual alternative rock, and moody indie vocals. Capture the tension of forbidden desire, supernatural dread, and heartbreak—think Evanescence meets The Midnight atmosphere with smoldering indie energy.”
