The Lightwoods, the Shadowhunters who run the New York Institute, are expecting a new addition to their family: the orphaned son of their father's friend, Jace Wayland. Alec and Isabelle aren't too sure they want a new brother, and their parents are not assuaging their fears, too occupied with the dark news that Raphael Santiago, second-in-command of the New York vampire clan, has brought from the Shadow Market.Praise for the The Mortal Instruments Series:"This fast-paced fantastic thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats."--VOYA"New York is the city that never sleeps--but evil spirits, angels, warlocks, faeries and shadowhunters don't need much rest anyway. The city is home to Cassandra Clare's young-adult debut novel, a cool, pleasingly dark and spicy urban fantasy called City of Bones."--Kirkus Reviews"A smart, funny, romantic read."--Cosmo Girl
