City of Bones, 1 Hardcover - 2007
by Cassandra Clare
In New York, 15-year-old Clary Fray doesn't expect to witness a murder--much less one committed by three teenagers covered with odd markings and brandishing bizarre weapons. Exotic and gritty, this book begins a new fantasy series about demons and a secret tribe of warriors called the Shadowhunters. Margaret K. McElderry Books
Summary
DonâÈçt miss The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, soon to be a major motion picture in theaters August 2013.
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murderâÈ'much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. ItâÈçs hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothingâÈ'not even a smear of bloodâÈ'to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is ClaryâÈçs first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. ItâÈçs also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into JaceâÈçs world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . . .
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra ClareâÈçs ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

Media reviews
"City of Bones has everything: vampires, werewolves, faeries, true love, and stuff that blows up. What's more, Clare's characters are brilliant -- she better not kill any of them off in the next two volumes!"
-- Justine Larbalestier, author of Magic or Madness
