The supernatural streets of New York City have never felt more dangerous. Six weeks after Valentine's defeat, Simon Lewis navigates his new existence as a Daylighter vampire with the Mark of Cain - divinely protected yet profoundly isolated. Meanwhile, Jace Lightwood withdraws from Clary as disturbing dreams plague him - visions where he violently attacks the woman he loves. These nightmares aren't mere psychological echoes of trauma but something far more sinister. As Simon and Jace struggle with their separate demons, an ancient evil stirs beneath the city's surface. The Church of Talto - a cult dedicated to creating demon-blooded children like Sebastian - has found a patron in Lilith, mother of all demons, who has preserved Sebastian's corpse with unholy purpose. Their fates intertwine in a story that explores how love endures when darkness threatens to consume everything.
