In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them...
I'm currently doing a chronological reread for the first time of all books in the Shadowhunters universe starting with the first three chapters of the Bane Chronicles. I've only just entered TID era with Clockwork Angel and already all I could think about is how heartbreaking it must have been for Magnus Bane to see people he knew, he cared about in the past, in some strangers, their descendants. Although I've read these books when they first came out, it really hits different when you start reading in chronological order.
