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.

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. . . .

Gyilkosság tanúja lesz - a tizenöt éves Clary Fray aligha számít erre, amikor elindul a _Pandemonium_ nevű New York-i klubba. Az elkövetők: három, különös tetoválásokkal borított és bizarr fegyverekkel hadonászó tinédzser.
A holttest aztán eltűnik a semmibe. Nehéz kihívni a rendőrséget, ha a gyilkosok mindenki más számára láthatatlanok, és semmi, még egy vércsepp sem bizonyítja, hogy egy fiú meghalt. De fiú volt-e az áldozat egyáltalán?
Így találkozik Clary először az Árnyvadászokkal, akik azért küzdenek, hogy megszabadítsák a földet a démonoktól. Közülük való az angyali külseje ellenére igazi bunkó módjára viselkedő Jace is. Clary egyetlen nappal később, akarata ellenére már bele is csöppen Jace világába: édesanyja eltűnik, őt magát pedig megtámadja egy démon. De miért érdekelne egy démont két olyan hétköznapi mondi, mint Clary és az édesanyja? És hogyan tett szert Clary egyszer csak a Látásra?
Az Árnyvadászok tudni akarják...

Hát lehetetlen?!
Clary Fray másra sem vágyik, csak hogy végre ismét normális életet élhessen.
De vajon mi számít normálisnak, ha valaki démonokat pusztító Árnyvadász, az édesanyja varázslattal előidézett kómában fekszik, és egyszerre vérfarkasok, vámpírok meg tündérek nyüzsögnek körülötte? Clary szívesen töltene több időt legjobb barátjával, Simonnal, csakhogy az Árnyvadászoktól nem szabadulhat - főleg nem jóképű, ámde bosszantó, újonnan megtalált bátyjától, Jace-től. Clary csakis úgy segíthet édesanyján, ha felkutatja a rossz útra tért Árnyvadászt, Valentine-t, aki talán őrült, bizonyosan gonosz - ráadásul az édesapja.
Amikor a Végzet Ereklyéi közül a másodikat is ellopják, a félelmetes Inkvizítor Jace-t gyanúsítja. Lehet, hogy a fiú tényleg elárul mindent, amiben hitt, és az apja mellé áll?

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.

Rachel Hartman - Seraphina (angol)
Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high.
Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect her own secret, the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life.
In her exquisitely written fantasy debut, Rachel Hartman creates a rich, complex, and utterly original world. Seraphina's tortuous journey to self-acceptance is one readers will remember long after they've turned the final page.
