SEQUEL TO CITY OF SECRETS
It has been three months since Ember Fairose defeated Jacob Ashwright, and the Shadow World has been lulled into a certain sense of peace, or so it seems.
In the New York Institute, Ember is leading the seemingly perfect life-she is raising her ten month-old daughter alongside her fiancé, Jonathan Morgenstern, has her loyal parabatai, Isabelle Lightwood, standing by her side, and has the help and love of all of her friends and family, not to mention that everyone in the Shadow World seems to know her name and face. Ember is presented with new chances and opportunities, but finds herself feeling unsure of the ideas of the future everyone is creating for her.
To make matters worse, a familiar evil emerges from the shadows, stronger than ever, calling Ember back to the battlefield. The hope of finally achieving peace in the Shadow World shatters, as does Ember's hopes of living a simple, uncomplicated life with her family.
Suddenly the perfect life doesn't seem perfect anymore. Tensions appear in places she never thought possible when a person from Jonathan's past makes an unwelcome reappearance, shaking them to the core with a surprising revelation, and suddenly she finds herself questioning the only thing she never thought she would ever have doubts about.
It's bad enough to live with secrets, but when shadows are added to the mix, darkness always follows, and, well-
Facilis descensus averno.
Yes, the descent into hell is easy, and if there's anything Ember Fairose has learned in the Shadow World, it's that we are all so much lovelier when we fall.

Love & Arrows (Shadowhunter Series #1)
Yvanna Abigail Wayland is the younger twin sister of the notorious Jace Wayland. She is more of a rule follower than her rule breaker brother. When she and her brother arrived at the New York Institute after their father's death, she knew she was in for a change - a huge one - but she knew she had her brother with her no matter what. That day, she met the eldest Lightwood son - Alexander "Alec" Gideon Lightwood. It's been ten years, those years were full of fights, of being together and of fighting side-by-side. Everything was going well, that's what she thought until Clary Fray entered the picture. The life Yvanna imagined started to crumble; relationships wrecked and quarrels became more heated between family members, especially hers, all because of the red-head girl. Will love soar over their heads or pierce their hearts as precise as an arrow? For Yvanna, love was like an arrow; fast but accurate knowing it would land on bull's eye but before being an expert in archery there are challenges to be faced. Challenges that demand sacrifice and sacrifice for a Shadowhunter is a relatively normal term. Will there be conflicts or will their promise to each other crumble into dust? When someone comes and wrecks their slowly destroyed lives, will everything be the same again or will this be the glue that binds them together as one? Can love defeat all these challenges the inseparable four will face? Shadowhunters love fiercely and when that's gone, they feel hollow inside which could lead to their downfall. The twins have a saying about love; "To love is to destroy and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed." Can they prove that what their father said is true or will this be the foundation that proves that all love is not perfect? Can love soar through all these conflicts? Can everything go back to the way it was or will they suffer the consequences of it?Complete

Having grown up together, the four of them made a promise that whenever they go on a mission, four go in and four come out. Join them as they fight to keep that promise when their world is turned upside down by the introduction of Clary Fairchild, the fiery daughter of the biggest threat to the Shadow World, Valentine Morgenstern.

"Nephilims" That's what they're called, beings that protect the mundane world from demons, beings that are half-angel and half-human. They only have one task, and that's to keep all demons at bay until the time arrives where they can slaughter all demon-kind. Ophelia Morgenstern is a shadowhunter who can't seem to get through a day without making a sarcastic remark. She's undoubtedly one of the best at what she does, but she's also the daughter of the most wanted man in the Shadow World. Alec Lightwood is a brooding shadowhunter with the tendencies of following the rules no matter what. He basically lives his life on the saying, "Sed lex, dura lex." which means "The law is hard, but it is the law." They've known each other for practically their whole lives, and they have always felt a burst of emotions around one another, but with the arrival of the "new" shadowhunter, their whole world flips on its back. With everything that's going on around them, will they gain sight of the feelings they truly have for one another?

City of Secrets
The Dark War has been won, and Clary Fairchild believes her time to rest has come. This all changes one night during a regular patrol mission, where they encounter a peculiar situation, and an even more peculiar girl. At first glance, Ember Valenza seems to be nothing more than a dreadfully average mundane. The thought is all but destroyed the minute she is brought into the New York Institute. It is quickly discovered that she has the Sight, and she shows skills and abilities enough to rival a Shadowhunter's own. What's worse, she seems to know too much about the Shadow World, along with too much information about one of the Shadow World's greatest and recently-defeated enemies-Sebastian Morgenstern. It soon becomes clear that Ember Valenza is no ordinary mundane. Her harbored secrets are revealed, along with a hidden gift, and new questions arise as Ember strives to take her place among the Shadowhunters. Will she be worthy enough to drink from the Mortal Cup and Ascend? Only one thing is for sure: the Morgenstern name is not dead, and its legacy will live on even after the death of its presumed last heir. Will Ember be able to restore the abhorred Morgenstern name and save Jonathan's reputation? Is it a risk worth taking, a battle worthy enough to fight? Will Clary and the rest of the Heroes of The Dark War help her through her journey? BOOK #1 OF THE OF ANGELS AND DEMONS SERIESComplete
