Cassandra Clare - A herceg
A Viktória korabeli London mágiával átszőtt alvilágában Tessa Gray végre biztonságban érezheti magát az árnyvadászok körében. Ez a biztonság azonban múlandónak bizonyul: a Klávé szakadár tagjai terveket szőnek Charlotte leváltására az Intézet éléről. Ha Charlotte elveszti a pozícióját, Tessa az utcára kerül, és könnyű zsákmánya lesz a titokzatos Magiszternek, aki saját sötét céljai érdekében akarja felhasználni Tessa képességeit.
Cassandra Clare - A hercegnő
Tessa Graynek boldognak kellene lennie – hiszen minden menyasszony boldog, nem? Csakhogy miközben az esküvőjére készül, egyre több árny vetül a londoni Intézet árnyvadászaira. Új démon bukkan fel, akit vér és titkok fűznek Mortmainhez; ahhoz a férfihoz, aki könyörtelen automatonjai, a pokoli szerkezetek segítségével az árnyvadászok elpusztítására törekszik. Mortmainnek már csak egyetlen dologra van szüksége, hogy megvalósítsa a tervét.
Tessára.
Charlotte Branwell, az Intézet vezetője elkeseredetten igyekszik felkutatni Mortmaint, mielőtt a férfi lecsap. Jem és Will, a két Tessa szívéért versengő fiú mindent megtenne, hogy megmentsék a lányt. Mert bár Jem eljegyezte a lányt, Will még mindig szerelmes belé.
Egy haldokló árnyvadász utolsó szavai elvezethetik Tessát és a barátait Mortmainhez, de a kis csapat egyedül nem veheti fel a harcot, a nagy hatalmú konzul pedig kételkedik a veszély valódiságában. A szövetségeseik által cserben hagyott árnyvadászok csapdában találják magukat, amikor Mortmain ráteszi a kezét a Jemet életben tartó orvosságra. Miközben legjobb barátja a halál kapujában van, Willnek mindent kockára kell tennie, hogy megmentse a lányt, akit mind a ketten szeretnek.
Hogy időt nyerjenek Will számára, Magnus Bane, a boszorkánymester és Henry Blackwell megalkotnak egy eszközt, ami segíthet Mortmain legyőzésében.
Miközben a többiek Tessa és az árnyvadászok jövőjének megmentésén munkálkodnak, a lány ráébred, hogy valódi természete példátlan hatalmat biztosít neki, így valójában egyedül ő húzhatja ki saját magát a csávából. De mit tehet egy magányos lány egy hadsereg ellen, még ha angyalok erejét is állíthatja csatasorba?
Benina - A Boszorka városa
Claire nagy álma megvalósulni látszik: végre eljut Moldomusba, a boszorkányok városába.
De miért kell átlépnie az eddig került világ kapuját? Vajon meg tudják oldani, hogy a félig démon Kellan is velük tartson? Vagy ezúttal elválnak útjaik?
Regina, Cameron, Lucas és a Bölcs kinek a pártjára állnak? Védelmezik a boszorkányok egységét mindenek felett, vagy bíznak magukban és a barátság, a szeretet erejében?
Claire-nek és Kellannek újabb komoly kihívásokkal kell szembenézni. Mert a város nem ereszt, a boldogság fénye pedig egyaránt vonz és taszít valakit…
Hisznek-e annyira egymásban, hogy legyőzzék az akadályokat?
Cassandra Clare - Clockwork Angel
Magic is dangerous—but love is more dangerous still.
When sixteen-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 folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.
Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.
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. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: Jem, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa. 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.
Cassandra Clare - Az angyal
A mágia veszélyes - de a szerelem még veszélyesebb!
Amikor a tizenhat éves Tessa Gray megérkezik a viktoriánus Angliába, valami rettenetes vár rá a londoni Alvilágban, ahol vámpírok, boszorkánymesterek és más természetfeletti lények járják az utcákat a gázlámpák alatt. Tessának nincsenek barátai, és egyetlen pillanatra sem érezheti magát biztonságban, ezért menedéket kér az Árnyvadászoktól, akiknek egyetlen célja, hogy megszabadítsák a világot a démonoktól.
Ahogy egyre mélyebben merül el a világukba, a lány azt veszi észre, hogy egyszerre varázsolja el két legjobb barát, és nemsokára rá kell döbbennie, hogy a szerelem a legveszélyesebb varázslat mind közül.

Cassandra Clare - City of Bones
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . . .
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.
David Levithan - Andrea Cremer - Invisibility
Stephen has been invisible for practically his whole life — because of a curse his grandfather, a powerful cursecaster, bestowed on Stephen’s mother before Stephen was born. So when Elizabeth moves to Stephen’s NYC apartment building from Minnesota, no one is more surprised than he is that she can see him. A budding romance ensues, and when Stephen confides in Elizabeth about his predicament, the two of them decide to dive headfirst into the secret world of cursecasters and spellseekers to figure out a way to break the curse. But things don’t go as planned, especially when Stephen’s grandfather arrives in town, taking his anger out on everyone he sees. In the end, Elizabeth and Stephen must decide how big of a sacrifice they’re willing to make for Stephen to become visible — because the answer could mean the difference between life and death. At least for Elizabeth.
Cassandra Clare - City of Lost Souls
The demon Lilith has been destroyed and Jace has been freed from her captivity. But when the Shadowhunters arrive to rescue him, they find only blood and broken glass. Not only is the boy Clary loves missing–but so is the boy she hates, Sebastian, the son of her father Valentine: a son determined to succeed where their father failed, and bring the Shadowhunters to their knees.
No magic the Clave can summon can locate either boy, but Jace cannot stay away—not from Clary. When they meet again Clary discovers the horror Lilith’s dying magic has wrought—Jace is no longer the boy she loved. He and Sebastian are now bound to each other, and Jace has become what he most feared: a true servant of Valentine’s evil. The Clave is determined to destroy Sebastian, but there is no way to harm one boy without destroying the other. Will the Shadowhunters hesitate to kill one of their own?
Only a small band of Clary and Jace’s friends and family believe that Jace can still be saved — and that the fate of the Shadowhunters’ future may hinge on that salvation. They must defy the Clave and strike out on their own. Alec, Magnus, Simon and Isabelle must work together to save Jace: bargaining with the sinister Faerie Queen, contemplating deals with demons, and turning at last to the Iron Sisters, the reclusive and merciless weapons makers for the Shadowhunters, who tell them that no weapon on this earth can sever the bond between Sebastian and Jace. Their only chance of cutting Jace free is to challenge Heaven and Hell — a risk that could claim any, or all, of their lives.
And they must do it without Clary. For Clary has gone into the heart of darkness, to play a dangerous game utterly alone. The price of losing the game is not just her own life, but Jace’s soul. She’s willing to do anything for Jace, but can she even still trust him? Or is he truly lost? What price is too high to pay, even for love?
Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series.

Jennifer L. Armentrout - Apollyon
Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.
Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.
The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.
Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.
True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.
Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.
