Synopsis "Clockwork Angel (in English)"

Magic is dangerous—but love is more dangerous still. Discover the “compulsively readable” (Booklist) first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Infernal Devices trilogy, prequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series! Clockwork Angel is a Shadowhunters novel.When Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks, and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos. Kidnapped by a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform into another person. What’s more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own. Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm’s length…everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world…and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

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.
