In the fifth installment of the Mortal Instruments series, Clary Fray discovers that Jace Herondale is bound to the villainous Sebastian Morgenstern through a dark ritual. Because their lives are magically linked, harming one results in the injury or death of the other. While the Shadowhunter Council refuses to hunt Sebastian for fear of killing Jace, Clary joins a rogue group including Simon, Alec, and Isabelle to find a way to sever the connection. The narrative follows their search for the iron sisters and a legendary weapon capable of separating the two men without ending Jace’s life.
Fans of urban fantasy and supernatural romance read this book to see the consequences of magical unintended bonds.
