E non e scomparso solo il ragazzo che Clary ama, ma anche quello che odia, suo fratello Sebastian, il figlio di Valentine. Un figlio determinato a riuscire dove il padre ha fallito e pronto a tutto per annientare gli Shadowhunters. La potente magia del Conclave non riesce a localizzare ne l'uno ne l'altro, ma Jace non puo stare lontano da Clary. Quando si ritrovano, pero, Clary scopre che il ragazzo non e piu la persona di cui si era innamorata: in punto di morte Lilith lo ha legato per sempre a Sebastian, rendendolo un fedele servitore del male. Purtroppo non e possibile uccidere uno senza distruggere anche l'altro. A chi spettera il compito di preservare il futuro degli Shadowhunters, mentre Clary sprofonda in un'oscura furia che mira a scongiurare a ogni costo la morte di Jace? Amore. Peccato. Salvezza. Morte. Quale prezzo e troppo alto per l'amore? Di chi ci si puo fidare, quando peccato e salvezza coincidono? Ma soprattutto: si possono reclamare le anime perdute?

This title is second in the "New York Times" bestselling urban fantasy series set in Victorian London. Still reeling from her terrifying confrontation with the Magister and her brother's betrayal, Tessa Gray is drawn ever deeper into the Shadowhunter's dark underworld of demons and danger. In a desperate attempt to help her friends, Tessa tries to uncover the truth about the Magister and learns that blames the Shadowhunters for the murder of his parents nearly a half century ago. But who were his parents, and why did the Shadowhunters kill them? Determined to unravel the secrets of his past, Tessa, Will and Jem journey to mist-shrouded Yorkshire, only to encounter corrupt Shadowhunters more intent on burying the past than finding the Magister - a past that holds the key not only to the enemy's motivations and weakness, but to the secret of what Tessa really is and what she was born to do. Meanwhile, Tessa's feelings for Jem and Will are growing more complicated, and soon she is forced to acknowledge that any choice she makes will either save the Shadowhunters of London - or end them for ever. This is the first book in the series, "Clockwork Angel", debuted at number one on the "New York Times" Bestseller list and spent ten weeks in the charts.
