This is a prequel to the Mortal Instruments Series whcih takes place in Victorian London. The story line features Will, an independent young Shadowhunter with a chip on his shoulder, Jem (James) whose illness will eventually lead to his death and Tess, an American who discovers that she is a shape-changer. Is she even human? Lured to London by her brother, Nate who sends her tickets and letters, she is pursued by demons who appear to answer to someone known as Magister. Strange automatons attack mundanes and Shadowhunters alike in pursuit of Tess. The story unfolds in ways the reader cannot guess and Tess finds herself face-to-face with Magister. This is a most intriguing tale with new twists from the imaginative Cassandra Clare whose fertile imagination once again leads the reader into an entertaining reading experience. Well done, Ms. Clare!
