Magic is dangerous—but love is more dangerous still. When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London’s Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos. Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What’s more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa’s power for his own. Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm’s length…everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world…and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

Callum Hunt ví už odmalička, že pokud by se někdy zapletl s magií, znamenalo by to pro něj jediné – smrt. Jeho otec mu to ostatně nikdy nedovolí zapomenout. Když je Cal pozván k vstupním zkouškám do tajemné čarodějné školy jménem Magisterium, slíbí otci i sám sobě, že v testu dokonale propadne. Jenže Cal má naneštěstí magii v krvi, takže i přes veškerou snahu je spolu s dalšími dvěma žáky vybrán, aby studoval u největšího mága ze všech, mistra Rufuse. Cal zjišťuje, že magie je mnohem zábavnější, než si kdy uměl představit, a také skoro stejně tak nebezpečná. Ve škole si vedle nových přátel rychle udělá i nové nepřátele… Dvě nejlepší autorky současné fantasy pro mládež se spojily, aby napsaly nejúžasnější magické dobrodružství od dob Harry Pottera.

The 'Queen Bitch' at her school, Isabel likes to keep everyone very much at arms length. But when she meets the enigmatic Atticus Smith, she begins to question her very identity - maybe she wasn't born to be bad after all.
