City of Glass-Cassandra Clare (Mortal Instruments Series)

City of Glass, the third installment in Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series, plunges Clary Fray into the dangerous and hidden world of the Shadowhunters' ancestral home, Idris. Desperate to save her mother, who is trapped in a magically induced coma, Clary takes a perilous journey to the City of Glass, despite the fact that entering without permission is strictly forbidden by the Clave and punishable by death. Adding to the danger, Jace, the Shadowhunter she loves, vehemently opposes her presence, and her mundane best friend Simon has been imprisoned by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of his newfound ability to withstand sunlight as a vampire.
Once inside the seemingly impenetrable city of Alicante, Clary uncovers startling truths about her family's past and her own unique heritage. She encounters Sebastian Verlac, a mysterious and alluring Shadowhunter who offers her guidance, but whose true motives remain shrouded in secrecy. As Clary navigates the intricate politics and ancient laws of the Shadowhunter world, she also grapples with her complicated feelings for Jace and the unsettling revelations about their supposed sibling connection. Meanwhile, the malevolent Valentine Morgenstern amasses his forces, preparing to unleash a devastating attack that could wipe out all Shadowhunters.

With the threat of war looming, the Shadowhunters find themselves in a desperate situation, forced to consider an alliance with their long-standing enemies, the Downworlders – vampires, werewolves, and faeries. As loyalties are tested and long-held prejudices challenged, Clary must embrace her burgeoning Shadowhunter powers to fight alongside Jace and their allies against Valentine's dark agenda. The fate of the Shadowhunter world hangs in the balance as Clary uncovers the final pieces of her identity and confronts the ultimate battle between good and evil in the mystical City of Glass.
