A City of Glass and Shadows
In the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters, ancient secrets and forbidden loves collide with devastating consequences. Alicante rises from the valley like a dream - honey-colored buildings crowned by crystalline demon towers that catch and amplify light like massive shards of quartz. But beneath this beautiful facade lies a society fracturing under the weight of prejudice, deception, and impending war. What if the very people sworn to protect humanity from demons harbor darkness within themselves? As Valentine threatens to unleash hell upon the Shadow World, the truth becomes clear: sometimes the most dangerous monsters aren't demons at all, but the prejudices we refuse to relinquish and the lies we tell ourselves. In this glass city, every reflection reveals something unexpected - and some truths, once seen, can never be unseen.
