Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunters series is a very popular young adult franchise that has already had a movie and television adaptation. With two series under its belt, we’re getting ready for some sun and a cold drink with Clare’s newest series, The Dark Artifices, which is set in Los Angeles. Lady Midnight is the first book and I was told that new readers can just jump in even if they haven’t read The Mortal Instruments or The Infernal Devices. Here’s a synopsis:
The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in the first novel in Cassandra Clare’s newest series, The Dark Artifices, a sequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. Lady Midnight is a Shadowhunters novel.
It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her parents and avenging her losses.
Together with her parabatai Julian Blackthorn, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica. If only her heart didn’t lead her in treacherous directions…
Making things even more complicated, Julian’s brother Mark—who was captured by the faeries five years ago—has been returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kind—and they need the Shadowhunters’ help to do it. But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn’t recognize his family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it?
Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters abound in this heartrending opening to Cassandra Clare’s Dark Artifices series.
I was lucky enough to get an advance reader’s copy from Simon & Schuster Canada along with some goodies but I thought that a fan would appreciate it more than I would.
