When Tessa arrives in England to meet her brother, she is met by Mrs. Dark and Mrs. Black (the Dark Sisters). Once Tessa is in their home, she is held captive and cruelly taught how to use her "gift". All she knows is the Magister wants her to develop her gift and the Dark Sisters will do anything to achieve that goal. Tessa is rescued from the Dark Sisters by the Shadowhunters and taken to live in the Institute where she is safe from the Magister and other members of the Pandemonium Club. It is here she learns about being a Downworlder and exactly who and what the Shadowhunters are. Her loyalty is tested, the world is about to be destroyed, and her life and those of the Shadowhunters are at stake.
Fantastic beginning to the Mortal Instruments series. The story just pulled me in and I went along for the ride. The battles between the Shadowhunters and the forces of evil were believeable. I found myself pulling for the good guys and missing those who are no longer part of the story. My advice is to pull up a chair, get comfy, and start reading.
