Synopsis "City of Bones (in English)"

Discover this first installment of the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series and "prepare to be hooked" (Entertainment Weekly). When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder--much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing--not even a smear of blood--to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know... Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

Cassandra Clare nació de padres estadounidenses en Teherán, Irán, y pasó gran parte de su infancia viajando por el mundo, incluida una caminata por el Himalaya cuando era niña, donde pasó un mes viviendo en la mochila de su padre. Vivió en Francia, Inglaterra y Suiza antes de los diez años. Pasó sus años de escuela secundaria en Los Ángeles, donde solía escribir historias para divertir a sus compañeros de clase, incluida una novela épica llamada "La bella Cassandra", basada en un cuento de Jane Austen del mismo nombre (y que más tarde inspiró su seudónimo actual). Trabajó en varias revistas de entretenimiento en New York y Los Ángeles. Desde 2006 se dedica a escribir ficción fantástica a tiempo completo.
