  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market is a companion to Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, and The Dark Artifices series written in collaboration with Maureen Johnson, Sarah Rees Brennan, Robin Wasserman, and Kelly Link. It’s a world full of Shadowhunters — human Angel hybrids with a mandate to protect the rest of humanity from demons, Downworlders — anybody who is neither Shadowhunter nor demon, such as vampires, werewolves, and faeries — and, of course, demons. Beings that are neither Shadowhunters nor Downworlders — ordinary humans, in other words — are called mundanes. Some mundanes, however, have what’s called the Sight. This means that they can see everything: Shadowhunters, Downworlders, and possibly even demons.
