El libro comienza cuando Clary está dispuesta a viajar a Alacante (una ciudad cercana a Idris, la ciudad de los cazadores de sombras) para intentar encontrar al mago Ragnor Fell que la puede ayudar a curar a su madre. Jace, por el contrario, no quiere que ella vaya, pues no quiere ponerla en peligro. En un intento de irse sin Clary con Isabelle, Maryse, Alec, Max y Madeline, un grupo de repudiados los atacan a las puertas del Instituto, donde Magnus iba a abrir un portal a Alacante. Aquí Madeline muere, y a Jace no le queda más remedio que llevarse a Simon con él. Clary, por otro lado. abre un portal para llegar a Alacante, y Luke va con ella para no dejarla sola. Allí llegan a la casa de la hermana de Luke, llamada Amatis, donde Clary se queda unos días cuando Luke se va a buscar a su manada. Cuando va a ver a Jace y a los demás a la casa de Patrick Penhallow, conoce allí a un apuesto joven que dice que se llama Sebastian Verlac. Clary al principio confía en él, ya que la ayuda a encontrar a Ragnor Fell y al Libro Gris (un libro de magia que quería Magnus), pero pocos días después deja de fiarse. En cuanto a Simon, cuando supuestamente va al Salón de los Acuerdos para que abran un portal que lo lleve de vuelta a Nueva York, el Inquisidor (sustituto de Imogen Herondale) lo secuestra para hacer que confiese cómo se convirtió en un vampiro diurno. Clary y Jace van un día a la antigua casa solariega en la que vivía Valentine con Jocelyn, y encuentran a un ángel llamado Ithuriel, que le muestra unos extraños sueños a Clary sobre Jace, Valentine y su madre. En uno de los sueños aparece Lilith (la madre de todos los demonios) con Valentine, dándole sangre de demonio para suministrársela a Jace a través de su madre. Después de esto, Jace piensa que es un demonio. Al volver a Alacante, ven la ciudad en llamas, y las salvaguargas que protegen a la ciudad de los demonios, están inactivas, por lo que una horda de demonios ataca la ciudad. Mientras tanto, en la casa de los Penhallow, Isabelle se queda con Sebastian y con Max, aunque el niño desaparece, y Sebastian también. Cuando Jace y Clary se encuentran con Alec, van a salvar a Simon, y Clary, en el Salón de los Acuerdos, le dibuja en la frente la Marca de Caín para protegerlo. Allí también ven a Isabelle llorando en brazos de Alec, ya que su madre tiene a su hermano pequeño (Max) muerto entre sus brazos. Después de esto, Jace sospecha de que fue Sebastain quien lo mató, y que está conspirando con Valentine, por lo que decide seguirle la pista. Clary, mientras tanto, ve que Jocelyn está bien, ya que la curó Magnus a cambio de darle el Libro Gris. Su madre le dice que Jace y ella no son hermanos, que su auténtico hermano es Sebastian (quien es el que de verdad tiene sangre de demonio), y que Jace era hijo de Stephen y Céline Herondale, por lo que era nieto de la antigua Inquisidora. Tras esto, Clary quiere ir en busca de Jace, que ha sido raptado por Sebastian (en realidad llamado Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern) y Valentine. Aquí, Jace y Sebastian luchan, y Sebastian muere, ya que Jace le atraviesa el corazón con un cuchillo serafín. Isabelle, que ha encontrado a Jace, le dice que él y Clary no son hermanos (ya que Clary se lo contó). Mientras, Valentine ha raptado a Clary en el lago Lynn (no muy lejano a Alacante), y empieza el ritual de invocación del Ángel Raziel. Aquí, Jace aparece con la intención de matar a Valentine, pero este le clava la Espada Mortal en el corazón, y Jace muere en brazos de Valentine, dejando a Clary muy conmovida. Cuando finalmente termina el ritual, el Ángel mata a Valentine y le concede a Clary un deseo. Esta, sin pensárselo dos veces, le pide que resucite a Jace. Al abrir los ojos, se encuentra con él arrodillado junto a ella.
El libro termina cuando hacen una fiesta para celebrar la victoria contra Valentine (cuyo funeral fue unos días antes). Magnus y Alec empiezan a salir juntos, y Jace y Clary también, felices de saber que pueden estar juntos.

La tercera entrega de "CAZADORES DE SOMBRAS" también me ha gustado, ya que resuelve una duda que tuve desde el primer libro. Es muy bonito.
Os lo recomiendo.

I am dying to read the story but I can't afford it at the moment so I was just wondering if you had other plans in the future! If not, thank you anyway and thank you for being such a beautiful and talented writer.

manuadurbinshadow said: I follow u on twitter and tumblr and everywhere, and I saw there was a whole issue with amazon, and read that u were self-publishing the Ghosts of the Shadow Market stories? Can u tell me why u decided to do that with the new stories and not the Bane Chronicles and Shadowhunter Academy, and why it's different from being published by a publisher-like, a publisher gives u a bunch of money and then handles stuff like the cover from then on, right? Did u want to pick the covers so that's why we have the awesome drawn ones now? (luv Anna.) Or was it about the content-not that Im asking you if there'll be sexy stuff. (I mean... cool if there is!) Sorry if this is awkward, Im an aspiring writer and Id just luv to know more about the process.
Hey there. Thanks for asking, guys.

Okay, a few things: One is that no, we don't plan to put the content up online for free. These aren't "extras" like you'd find in the back of a novel - short pieces that I did write for free, and which are essentially advertising for the books. These are books in their own right: each story is technically a novelette, and not a short one. Several have been novellas! (Typically a short story is under 7k words, novelettes are 7k to 20k, novellas are 20k to 40k, and novels are anything over 40k.) (The short piece at the end of Son of the Dawn, called Not For Humans, has been online for free before, and will be again shortly.) This is a book, just delivered to you in an atypical-but I hope fun-way. It is one of the books our free content has been advertising, and whose sales provide the money that all five of us live off of, and which allows us to keep writing.

Content isn't and never has been the issue, though speaking generally self publication has for many offered the chance to write more diversely, without publishers to decide that's an uncommercial move. This lets readers decide the content they want to consume, which is part of why self publishing is such an exciting place to be. We wanted to get these stories out fast, and we wanted control over how to release and advertise them, as well as have freedom about what was going to be in them, if we needed that. We've run into some bumps (Amazon not believing I was me, etc.) but it's been fun.

I did want to take this opportunity to talk about the issue of piracy as regards Ghosts of the Shadow Market.

You are correct that normally a publisher gives you money - an advance - and that money goes toward your living expenses while you write your book. It's how authors survive during the long wait for publication. Choosing to self-publish means we don't have advance money for these short stories. We did get an advance for the print version of the book, which is being published by Simon and Schuster - but that advance has gone toward all the things a publisher usually pays for, because we are the publisher. We've paid for the copyeditor and proofreader, the graphic designer and the artist who has illustrated all the covers. We were able to ask for and change up specific covers. We've paid for our project manager, our own publicity, etc. So all our advance money has gone to that - which we're fine with, because when you self-publish, you are paid much more quickly than a publisher would pay you (months instead of years.) But that all depends on whether or not people buy the e-books.

Piracy hits us much harder and more directly than it would if we were publishing traditionally. If people don't pay for the stories, we just aren't paid - even if you intend to buy the print edition someday, that's great for Simon and Schuster, but doesn't really help us writers; it's a very different thing. I'm aware sometimes people don't see ebooks as real books, but they are real: it is not the paper you buy, but the story that the five of us have worked hard to produce. I know I can't deter people from pirating - if they want to, they will - but I can certainly say that I've seen real proof of the damage piracy does, and self-publishing is a way for us to see that up close. ( Here's an interesting and really smart post by Maggie Stiefvater about piracy and One thing she hits on is the way people disseminate pirated copies before the story is even available, thus cannibalizing the sales.) Certainly if piracy becomes too much of an issue, we would be unlikely to try such a project again - writers do have to get paid for the work they do, or they can't live, just like doctors or electricians or plumbers.

If you can't afford the story, please consider that the audiobook is on Amazon for zero dollars. It's a way to experience the story legally, for free. Audiobooks aren't everyone's favorite format, but our audiobook reader is fabulous, and it's a way to read/hear the story for no money, without hurting the authors who've written the stories, and without endangering the chances that a project like this will ever exist again.

Thanks! - the GoTSM writers.
