About this listen

The first in a brand new Shadowhunters trilogy set in Edwardian London by internationally best-selling author Cassandra Clare.

For years there has been peace in the Shadowhunter world. James and Lucie Herondale, children of the famous Will and Tessa, have grown up in an idyll with their loving friends and family, listening to stories of good defeating evil and love conquering all. But everything changes when the Blackthorn and Carstairs families come to London...and so does a remorseless and inescapable plague. James Herondale longs for a great love, and thinks he has found it in the beautiful, mysterious Grace Blackthorn. Cordelia Carstairs is desperate to become a hero, save her family from ruin and keep her secret love for James hidden. When disaster strikes the Shadowhunters, James, Cordelia and their friends are plunged into a wild adventure which will reveal dark and incredible powers, and the true cruel price of being a hero...and falling in love.

Welcome to Edwardian London, a time of electric lights and long shadows, the celebration of artistic beauty and the wild pursuit of pleasure, with demons waiting in the dark.

Could not have enjoyed the storyline and the narration more. Finty Williams' characterisation and inflection was perfect.

Wonderful Writing, Sublime Narration

As always Cassandra Clare has done another great book in the Shadowhunters universe. It is gripping and has many twists and turns you don't see coming.

Great to be back in the Shadowhunters universe

Loved it! Anyone who has read any of the previous Shadowhunter books won't be able to resist. The author pulls the reader into every story she writes about the shadow world, her characters are always interesting and it's hard to pick a favourite but if it has Herondales, Lightwoods and Carstairs then it's definitely going to have an adventure. I've read all Cassie Claire's books so far and haven't been disappointed. The narrator did a good job and has a soothing tone, she also gives each character their own voice, which is great. If you haven't read any of the shadowhunter series then your missing out, I can't wait to start the next book!

Awesome!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and Finty Williams has a lovely reading voice. I know the Shadowhunters books tend to mix it up with the narrators, but I really hope to hear her narrate the rest of the trilogy. Cassandra Clare did an amazing job with these characters and they all feel very distinct, which isn’t easy when writing about a second generation.

Fantastic story and narrator

where to start with this magnificiant book! You know when something is THAT good it's really hard to put it in words .... the combination of Cassandra's cinematic writing and fintys' soothing voice just put me in a state of awe making it hard for me to put my device down. This being my first ever audio book I can certainly say I was not disappointed. From the very beginning you are plunged into this world of sheer brilliance and bombarded with emotions ; joy, sorrow, pity, love, fondness and best of all... the element of surprise. Just utterly beautifully sewn together the character the plot and it just really makes me appreciate literature even more. The power that the writer has to completly transport my whole being into this fantasy world I'm just lost for words . I also wanto credit the narrator she was very clear and I loved the way she changed her tone for each characters. I hope you too can experience the joy I did whilst listening to this book I simply can not wait for book 2!

absolutely took my breath away
