Lord of Shadows

By Cassandra Clare
Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller

Sunny Los Angeles can be a dark place indeed in Cassandra Clare’s Lord of Shadows, the bestselling sequel to Lady Midnight. Lord of Shadows is a Shadowhunters novel.

Emma Carstairs has just learned that the love she shares with her warrior partner and parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, isn’t just forbidden—it could destroy them both. She knows she should run from Julian. But how can she when the Blackthorn family is threatened by enemies on all sides?

Their only hope is the Black Volume of the Dead, a spell book of terrible power. Everyone wants it. Only the Blackthorns can find it. Spurred on by a dark bargain with the Seelie Queen, Emma; her best friend, Cristina; and Mark and Julian Blackthorn embark on a journey into the Courts of Faerie, where glittering revels hide bloody danger and no promise can be trusted.

As dangers close in, Julian devises a risky new scheme that depends on the cooperation of an unpredictable enemy. But success may come with a price he and Emma cannot even imagine, one that will have repercussions for everyone and everything they hold dear.

Anxious Face with sweat“Re-Read! I read this book YEARS ago and decided to re-read (listen) to it to get a different feel. How my younger self was able to just accept thr cliffhanger at the end is uncanny. it's toooo big a cliffhanger to NOT pick up the next book immediately. a necromancer, dead girl turned alive, and very tight knit family... all he'll breaks lose. always. Cassandra Clare has been one my favorite authors for a long time. All the books I have read by her (so ALL the Shadowhunter books and their counterparts) are YA/Closed door, very clean.”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“As much as I hate to admit it took me too long to finish it eventho I loved every minute of this book. Okay maybe not every minute. The last few pages were painful to read”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“such a good book!! i love that this series has a bit more mature content compared to other series. Also i was so shocked and sad at the end, I was not expecting that.”
