"...When fifteen-year-old 'Clary Fray' heads out to the 'Pandemonium Club' in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a crime—much less a killing committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos, brandishing bizarre weapons. Clary knows she should call the police, but it's hard to explain when the body disappears into thin air and the perps are invisible to everyone but Clary. Equally startled by her ability to see them, the killers explain themselves as 'Shadowhunters', a secret tribe of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of 'demons'. Within twenty-four hours, Clary's mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a monster. How did Clary suddenly get the 'Sight'? The Shadowhunters would like to know..."
