The first book in the series, City of Bones, sets up the plot in an alternate New York City called Downworld, which is filled with faeries, warlocks, vampires, and demons. In the urban fantasy Clary Fay, a teenage girl, discovers that she is what is known as a Shadowhunter. Clary was raised among mundanes (ordinary people), but now she’s learning about her true heritage while fighting against evil supernatural forces. The movie adaptation of City of Bones was released in 2013, however City of Ashes was never made into a film version.
