Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons. When her father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother travel to London in hopes of preventing the family’s ruin. Cordelia’s mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a hero rather than a bride. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale and is drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms, secret assignations, and supernatural salons, where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians. All the while, she must hide her secret love for James, who is sworn to marry someone else.

But Cordelia’s new life is blown apart when a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. These monsters are nothing like those Shadowhunters have fought before—these demons walk in daylight, strike down the unwary with incurable poison, and seem impossible to kill. London is immediately quarantined. Trapped in the city, Cordelia and her friends discover that their own connection to a dark legacy has gifted them with incredible powers—and forced a brutal choice that will reveal the true cruel price of being a hero.

One day Carver Briggs had it all—three best friends, a supportive family, and a reputation as a talented writer at his high school, Nashville Academy for the Arts.

The next day he lost it all when he sent a simple text to his friend Mars, right before Mars, Eli, and Blake were killed in a car crash.

Now Carver can’t stop blaming himself for the accident, and he’s not the only one. Eli’s twin sister is trying to freeze him out of school with her death-ray stare. And Mars’s father, a powerful judge, is pressuring the district attorney to open a criminal investigation into Carver’s actions.

Luckily, Carver has some unexpected allies: Eli’s girlfriend, the only person to stand by him at school; Dr. Mendez, his new therapist; and Blake’s grandmother, who asks Carver to spend a Goodbye Day with her to share their memories and say a proper goodbye to his friend.

Soon the other families are asking for a Goodbye Day with Carver, but he’s unsure of their motives. Will they all be able to make peace with their losses, or will these Goodbye Days bring Carver one step closer to a complete breakdown or—even worse—prison?

New York mungkin berada di urutan teratas daftar kota yang paling banyak dijadikan setting cerita atau film. Di beberapa film Hollywood, mulai dari Nora Ephron's You've Got Mail hingga Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, New York bahkan bukan sekadar setting namun tampil sebagai "karakter" yang menghidupkan cerita.

Ke kota itulah Raia, seorang penulis, mengejar inspirasi setelah sekian lama tidak mampu menggoreskan satu kalimat pun.

Raia menjadikan setiap sudut New York "kantor"-nya. Berjalan kaki menyusuri Brooklyn sampai Queens, dia mencari sepenggal cerita di tiap jengkalnya, pada orang-orang yang berpapasan dengannya, dalam percakapan yang dia dengar, dalam tatapan yang sedetik-dua detik bertaut dengan kedua matanya. Namun bahkan setelah melakukan itu setiap hari, ditemani daun-daun menguning berguguran hingga butiran salju yang memutihkan kota ini, layar laptop Raia masih saja kosong tanpa cerita.

Sampai akhirnya dia bertemu seseorang yang mengajarinya melihat kota ini dengan cara berbeda. Orang yang juga menyimpan rahasia yang tak pernah dia duga.
