City of Ashes: Collector’s Edition by Cassandra Clare (Hardback)

Revisit the magic of the Mortal Instruments with this lavish new Collector’s Edition of City of Ashes — the second book in Cassandra Clare’s internationally bestselling Shadowhunters series. Featuring new cover art, stunning endpapers and a letter from Cassie, it’s a must-have gift for any Shadowhunter fan. Love and power are the deadliest temptations of all.

Clary Fray just wishes her life would go back to normal. But what counts as normal when you’re a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother lies in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders — werewolves, vampires and faeries — all around you? Walking away from the Shadowhunting world would mean more time with her best friend Simon, who’s fast becoming something more. But that world isn’t ready to release her, least of all her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary’s only hope of helping her mother lies in tracking down the rogue Shadowhunter Valentine — a man who is probably insane, certainly evil, and also her father.

As danger gathers over New York’s Downworld and old loyalties are tested to breaking point, Clary is pulled deeper into a hidden city where love is never safe and power is the most dangerous temptation of all. Breathtaking and atmospheric, this is the sequel that cemented the Shadowhunters as an urban-fantasy phenomenon.

Perfect for readers who love urban fantasy, demon-hunting warriors, a hidden world of Downworlders and a fraught, forbidden romance — and Shadowhunter fans after a beautiful collectable edition.
