Following YA Fantasy success of The Mortal Instruments series by Casandra Clare, this is the prequel epic Shadowhunters chapter set in Victorian London of the 1800s starring Tessa Gray.
Under the hustle and bustle of Victorian London, Downworld's vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Tessa Gray, a young orphan, only has one hope: to find her lost brother. On her journey to find him, she discovers her ability to shape-shift, and this is where her story begins...
She will find protection in the Shadowhunters, a band of warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons and slowly uncovers a surprising past she never thought could be hers. All while trying to understand who she truly loves, Will or Jem. Both Shadowhunters, both in love with her.
Love, lies, corruption, danger and secrets are all perfectly encapsulated in this action-packed fantasy YA series, full of twists and turns to make for another sensational chapter in the Shadowhunters' world.
