But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street—and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa’s powers for his own dark ends.With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move—and that one of their own has betrayed them.Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, but her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will—the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.	2011	{'Fantasy': 7927, 'Young Adult': 5467, 'Romance': 2259, 'Fantasy (Paranormal) ': 1967, 'Science Fiction (Steampunk) ': 1603, 'Historical (Historical Fiction) ': 1302, 'Fantasy (Urban Fantasy) ': 1012, 'Fiction': 881, 'Paranormal (Angels) ': 809, 'Paranormal (Vampires) ': 780}	https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10025305-clockwork-prince

In the hold they find oil and silver, and a naked boy chained to the bulkhead. Stunningly beautiful but half-starved, the boy has no name. The officers break the boy's chains to rescue him, but he escapes.Venice is at the height of its power. Duke Marco commands the seas, taxes his colonies, and, like every duke before him, fears assassins better than his own. In a side chapel, Marco's thirteen-year old cousin prays for deliverance from her forced marriage. It is her bad fortune to be there when Moorish pirates break in to steal a chalice, but it is the Moors' good fortune -- they kidnap her and demand ransom from the Duke.As day dawns, Atilo, the Duke's chief assassin, prepares to kill the man who let in the pirates. Having cut the traitor's throat, he turns back, having heard a noise, and finds a stranger crouched over the dying man, drinking blood from the wound. The speed with which the boy dodges a dagger and scales a pillar stuns Atilo. And the assassin knows he has to find the boy. Not to kill him though -- because he's finally found what he thought he would never find. Someone fit to be his apprentice.	2011	{'Fantasy': 188, 'Paranormal (Vampires) ': 49, 'Fiction': 29, 'Fantasy (Urban Fantasy) ': 28, 'Historical': 28, 'Historical (Historical Fiction) ': 26, 'Fantasy (Paranormal) ': 23, 'Science Fiction (Alternate History) ': 19, 'Historical Fiction (Historical Fantasy) ': 17, 'Horror': 14}	https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7976029-the-fallen-blade
