Description

On a mission to save her mom, Clary prepares to leave for Idris, the homeland of the Shadowhunters.

What awaits her on the other side of the portal, though, might not be exactly what she's expecting...

Trivia

• Like its predecessors, this graphic novel features an extra scene that was not in the books. The scene is of Sebastian Morgenstern climbing and disabling the demon towers.
• The cover is based off of the High Priestess tarot card.
• Cassandra Jean started working on this project in early November 2020.
• The first look at Sebastian Morgenstern's design was shared on the artist's Patreon in June 2021.
• The publication of this volume is later than usual, and later than the original planned date, due to a printing error and also likely because of Covid-19 delays.
