About the Infernal Devices Series

Cloaked in the dark shadows and illuminated only by gaslight Victorian London, The Infernal Devices is a penned art fantasy saga, whose reputed author is a best seller called Cassandra Clare, the one who goes under the name Judith Rumelt for the credentials. Clare, who is firstly known for the accomplishment of the richly textured worlds and vividly painted characters, takes the readers back in the past—that being before the after story of her successful Mortal Instruments series—there, she unveils to them the very beginning of the story. The plot is around Tessa Gray, a sixteen-year-old girl, who is American and travels to England, and the purpose of her journey is to find out what has become of her brother. Still, her discovery was a covert realm that was inhabited by Shadowhunters, Downworlders, demons, and riddles which had become the source of her transformation forever. Given that she has a power that makes her change into different persons and even to be able to use other people’s memories, Tessa has to figure out her true nature while dealing with the problems of danger, betrayal, and love to both of which a deuce of the heart shall be broken.

The series, which covers from the London Institute corridors to the fight with the mechanical beast, also named the Infernal Devices, merges the elements of the action genre with that of romance and tragedy. As if that was not enough, the readers become wrapped completely in the destinies of such characters as Will Herondale who is cleverly sarcastic but who is secretly hiding a very painful past and Jem Carstairs, whose calm strength and sad destiny have brought an unworldly grace to the narrative. By the time Tessa is drawn into the conflict between the side of the good and that of the evil, the question that inevitably pops up is if love can still exist in a place where there is no guarantee of safety for anyone. With its major themes such as one’s identity, self-sacrifice, and loyalty, The Infernal Devices unleashes a saga full of deeply rounded characters who will not fail to leave a trace with readers long after the last bit of the book is turned. No matter if you are a hardcore fan of the Shadowhunter’s universe or you are just discovering it for the first time, this trilogy is going to be full of magic, mystery, and bittersweet moments that will surely devastate your heart in a good way.
