Lord Of Shadows (The Dark Artifices #2) | Cassandra Clare

In this thrilling sequel to Lady Midnight, Cassandra Clare returns to the Shadowhunter world with Lord of Shadows—a gripping blend of magic, forbidden love, and looming war.

After the events at the Los Angeles Institute, Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn face new dangers, both in battle and in their hearts. As Emma grapples with her secret love for Julian, she pretends to be in a relationship with his brother Mark, whose return from the faerie realm has left him caught between two worlds.

With political unrest growing in the Shadowhunter world and tensions between Downworlders and Shadowhunters at a breaking point, a dangerous alliance threatens to spark a civil war. Meanwhile, ancient evils rise from the sea, and dark secrets threaten to tear the Blackthorn family apart.

As love, loyalty, and legacy collide, Emma and her allies must fight not just for their lives—but for the soul of the Shadowhunter world itself.
