If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa's powers for his own dark ends.

With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister's war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move and that one of their own has betrayed them.

Review: SPOILER!! SPOILER!! SPOILER!! SPOILER!!
WOOOOOOOWWW!!!! This book was amaaazzing!!! The ending was soo unexpected! I thought Kim had run away, but nooo she traps Myrnin and shoots him!! And I thought the part when Myrnin shot Bishop was cool, especially when Claire described it as like glitter. When Shane snapped out of it and then was like 'I'm sooo sorry!' awww it was so cuuute, and when at the veery end their all like 'I need you. No, I need you' OMYGOODNESS!!!! I loved iiitttt!!!! If you haven't read the series yet, you totally should.
