The series stars Clarrisa "Clary" Fray, a 16 year girl (mundane) who was living her life as she had always had but everything changed when she saw a "murder" in a bar that nobody else saw. That same night, her mother was kidnapped and demons waited for her at her house. She then learned that she was no ordinary human, that there exists a world that was beyond her wildest imagination where Shadowhunters, Downloaders and the Clave exists.
Shadowhunters are Nephilim, children of the Angel, whose main purpose in life is to protect and save the world from the Downloaders. Vampires, lycanthrope, warlocks, witches, fairies and demons are those that are considered as Downloaders. The Clave is like the goverment that sees over the whole thing.
Now let me introduce you to Jace. He's the finest Shadowhunter of his age. Jace is sarcastic, cynical, and witty but also vain, arrogant, and full of angst. He gives the impression of holding most people in disdain but is quite chivalrous toward women. His charisma, good looks and charm have made him quite the ladies' man and he is somewhat promiscuous. He never forms emotional attachments for more than a short period of time, if at all. Caring and feeling concern for someone is something that was alien to him. Although everything changed when he met Clary. He believed that he was not capable of love, those he loves ends up getting hurt. But he still takes a chance with Clary. But what will happen to these emotions when they learn that they could be siblings?!
Sound good enough? I love it when a character is always more than what they seemed. I'm just starting on the final book, City of Glass and I am itching to know how everything will end.
