Part of The Infernal Devices, book 3
First published 2013
Mortmain tightens his grip around the London Institute's Shadowhunters. His army of mechanical automatons stands ready to destroy them all, but he needs one final piece to complete his plan: Tessa Gray herself. When Mortmain captures Tessa, both Will and Jem prepare to risk everything for her rescue, even though she is now engaged to Jem while Will loves her just as deeply. Charlotte Branwell leads the desperate search from the Institute, racing against time before Mortmain strikes his killing blow. But as her friends mount their rescue, Tessa discovers that her own power may be the only force capable of stopping an entire mechanical army. The question becomes whether one girl, even one who wields angelic abilities, can stand against such overwhelming odds. The Shadowhunters face their darkest hour as love, loyalty, and survival collide in this trilogy's climactic battle.
