About the Book:

In Lady Midnight, the gripping first novel in Cassandra Clare’s The Dark Artifices series, Emma Carstairs is no longer the grieving child she was five years ago, after the traumatic events of City of Heavenly Fire. Now a fierce and determined Shadowhunter, Emma is obsessed with one goal: discovering the truth behind her parents’ deaths and exacting revenge.

Her journey to uncover the truth leads her through the glittering streets of Los Angeles and into its dark, supernatural underworld. With her parabatai Julian Blackthorn by her side, Emma must investigate a string of brutal murders that are eerily similar to the fate her parents met. As they delve deeper, the lines between duty and desire blur, and Emma finds herself torn by a forbidden love that could ruin everything.

When the faeries, desperate for answers to their own mystery, return Julian’s long-lost brother Mark as a bargaining chip, the stakes rise even higher. Mark, who was kidnapped by the Wild Hunt years ago, has barely aged, but his time in the faerie realm has left him broken and uncertain of his place in the human world. As the Blackthorn family grapples with Mark’s return, the faeries’ dark motives threaten to tear them apart once more.

With secrets, betrayals, and ancient magic lurking in every shadow, Lady Midnight weaves a spellbinding tale of love, vengeance, and sacrifice, marking the beginning of an epic new chapter in the Shadowhunter saga.
