When 16-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London\'s Downworld, where vampires, warlocks, and other supernatural beings stalk the gaslit streets.
As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all..
She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm\'s length...everyone, that is, but Tessa.
Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them.
What\'s more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa\'s power for his own.
Kidnapped by a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform into another person.
Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.
