The Mortal Instruments Book 2: City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
In this installment, bad guy Valentine already has one of the mortal instruments, and is trying to get the second, a sword. Not only that, but he needs the blood of Downworlders in order to change the properties of the sword to do his awful bidding.
The Lightwoods, Jace's adoptive family, come back from Idris because they have heard that Valentine is "back from the dead," and Mrs. Lightwood is convinced that Jace is helping Valentine with his evil deeds. She brings in the Inquisitor from the Clave, who job is to determine if Jace is telling the truth about his dealings with Valentine. Unfortunately, this Inquisitor is highly prejudiced against Jace, and doesn't want to believe he is telling the truth even though he is.
Clary, on the other hand, is just trying to find balance in her life. She wants normalcy, but also wants to be a Shadowhunter. She even tries to have a 'romantic' relationship with Simon, who will have his own major issues to deal with.
Ugh! So much happens, but if I covered them all, it would give so much away. Just read this series. This is a set you won't regret.
