The Infernal Devices

The Infernal Devices is a new series of novels by author Cassandra Clare, centering on a race known as the Downworlders, introduced in her Mortal Instruments series, who include vampires, werewolves, and warlocks. (Warlock powers are most likely inherited, while vampirism and lycanthropy are transmitted through attack and puncturing of the skin.) This series takes place in Victorian England, in a time before the peace treaties between the demon-fighting Shadowhunters and Downworlders (primarily vampires, werewolves, and warlocks) existed. As Shadowhunters consider themselves superior or purer than Downworlders or demons, they may have no qualms about killing either. The first book in The Infernal Devices is entitled The Clockwork Princess and begins the story of Tessa, a orphaned teenage girl who discovers she is a warlock, complete with an array of magical powers. But these newfound abilities plunge her into a world she never knew existed, and she will have to learn to master them if she wants to find her brother, and to do this she will have to forge an alliance with some Shadowhunters if she wants to survive in this dangerous world.
