With the help of the handsome, tortured Will and the devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal and fueled by revenge. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister knows their every move—and that one of their own has betrayed them.

Eh. I must say this one was a bit of a struggle to get through. I like most of the characters, especially Will in this volume. I like the storyline. The over reaching world is pretty interesting. And yet I struggled to get through this book. I think I've decided that Clare's writing bothers me. She draws out chapters and situations way longer than they need to be. I think this would have been a much better book at 350 pages instead of 500. Still debating about whether or not to finish this series.
