Would you find it in your heart to forgive someone in your family no matter who they are or what they’ve done? Clary Fray faces this dilemma every second of her life-her father is the rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, a sworn protector of the earth from evil spirits that turned his back on the force of good, who is planning to plunge the universe into merciless darkness. Mixed in with demons summoned by Valentine himself from The Other Side that could destroy the whole galaxy and a newfound brother who inches closer and closer into his father’s doomed footsteps without even realizing it, Clary isn’t sure who or what to have faith and believe in anymore. The wrong choice of who she places her trust with will not only cost her her life but the lives of everything and everyone on the planet too. Told through the eyes of Clary, who appears so fearless and strong on the outside but is actually unbelievably fragile and full of unspoken fear on the inside, City of Ashes-an unforgettable story of a naïve young girl overcoming adversity and persevering against all odds- will stay with you in your heart long after you’ve finished its final page.
