Clary, Jace, Simon, and Alec have ventured seemingly past the point of no return to save the ones they love and the entire race of Shadowhunters- the demon realms. But what if City of Heavenly Fire had ended differently? How would their whole world change if they were prisoners of Sebastian before his defeat? How can Clary cope with being her brother's play toy? Clace, Sizzy, Malec, and, yes, Clabastian. Nothing too explicit.

This is the sequel to A Broken Future. After returning from the demon realms, Jace, Clary, and their friends would like to think that everything is fixed. But Clary is struggling to come to grips with the terrible memories she has from Edom. Soon she will find that her biggest enemy is not only her dead brother- it's also herself. She must find the strength to endure when her greatest tormented returns from death, stronger than ever. But her life-changing experience with death itself may change that all. As her future unfolds before her, more terrifying than ever, Clary must also defeat the demons of her past.
