This title is second in the "New York Times" bestselling urban fantasy series set in Victorian London. Still reeling from her terrifying confrontation with the Magister and her brother's betrayal, Tessa Gray is drawn ever deeper into the Shadowhunter's dark underworld of demons and danger. In a desperate attempt to help her friends, Tessa tries to uncover the truth about the Magister and learns that blames the Shadowhunters for the murder of his parents nearly a half century ago. But who were his parents, and why did the Shadowhunters kill them? Determined to unravel the secrets of his past, Tessa, Will and Jem journey to mist-shrouded Yorkshire, only to encounter corrupt Shadowhunters more intent on burying the past than finding the Magister - a past that holds the key not only to the enemy's motivations and weakness, but to the secret of what Tessa really is and what she was born to do. Meanwhile, Tessa's feelings for Jem and Will are growing more complicated, and soon she is forced to acknowledge that any choice she makes will either save the Shadowhunters of London - or end them for ever. This is the first book in the series, "Clockwork Angel", debuted at number one on the "New York Times" Bestseller list and spent ten weeks in the charts. Casting has begun for Cassandra Clare's other bestselling urban fantasy series, "The Mortal Instruments", and filming is expected to begin shortly. The exclusive online global cover reveal is planned for May 2011.

The plot is fantastic and so orginal! Twists, turns, mysterious,
haunting moments. Things you never saw coming did! I enjoyed every
page from beginning to end .As soon as I opened the novel it was so
haunting and exciting. It had my pulse facing, heart pounding tears
rolling down my face and smiling with excitement. This book brought
me in straight away and I couldn't believe how many jaw dropping
moments there truly was!
*Dark Readers*
As well as a ridiculous skill for making you fall in love with her
characters, Cassandra Clare really knows how to spin an addicting
and all-consuming plot. The impending threat of Mortmain, the fear
of Charlotte losing the Institute and wondering what on earth
Jessamine was up to made me nearly unable to stop after `just one
more chapter’ as I kept telling myself. The action was furiously
paced and had me holding my breath and the softer down times often
had me grinning like an idiot.
I love everything that Cassandra Clare writes, even though she
writes horrible cliffhangers, and I am beyond ready for Clockwork
Princess.
*So Little Time for Books*
A triumph of a book. Cassandra Clare never disappoints and I am
sure that this book will have all the success that it truly
deserves. Clockwork Prince is out everywhere in two days’ time, so
be sure to pick up a copy. You won't regret it, I promise. Warning:
The ending may break your heart a little.
*YA Book Reads*
Clockwork Prince blends together romance and none stop action
seamlessly, Cassie Clare showing other Young Adult authors how
paranormal romance is done.
*Jess Hearts Books*
During Queen Victoria’s reign, London’s downworld is full of
supernatural creatures in turmoil. Shadowhunters are tryng to
irradicate demons, including Will, who changes when his past is
revealed. Other Shadowhunters attempt to find out what their enemy,
Mortmain, wants with Tessa. Links between different characters made
the story unpredictable. I loved it – can’t wait for the next
one!
*Tesco Magazine Book Club*
Highly recommended for anyone looking for thrilling action,
hilarious asides and genuine emotion – all in one great book.
*Mountains of Instead*
