The goods on this book: City of Bones is set in New York, in the present. Clary Fray, Jace Wayland, Isabelle Lightwood, and Alec Lightwood are a species of demon slayers known as Shadowhunters, and face a lot of trouble, such as Valentine Morgenstern. When the Mortal Cup is hidden, Clary must find it- it may be her only chance to save her mother, who is in a coma. But it’s not easy for her to obtain the Cup when there is trouble around every corner, and she has to adjust to a Shadowhunter lifestyle, and deal with the irritatingly handsome Jace, as well as her human friend Simon. She quickly learns to trust nobody, which is the theme of this book.
