After comforting the boy he tells her he is a Shadowhunter a half-angel half-human spices created to protect the Earth from demons. While Clary is with Jace, the shadowhunter boy, her mother gets kidnapped by a group of demons, making Clary’s mission to rescue her mother.

As she starts discovering the new world she’s now able to see, she finds out things about her family and why she is a shadowhunter. Turns out both her mom and dad are shadowhunters and her dad is very much alive and also is the most wanted man in the Nephilim world. What she does have is a deceased brother.  During her stay she starts developing feelings for Jace and making new friends and allies through the downworlder (werewolves, vampires, warlocks and faeries) where she discovers her mother has been erasing her memory through the years. When Jace disappears, she manages to save her mom with the help of one of her mother’s friends who turned out to be a werewolf.  She also finds Jace in the same place claiming to have found his long dead father alive. When he introduces her to his father she realizes that the man who Jace calls father is her real father Valentine.
