Clockwork Prince

by Cassandra Clare

Book Overview

True love is shrouded in secrets and lies in the enchanting second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Infernal Devices Trilogy, prequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when it becomes clear that the mysterious Magister will stop at nothing to use Tessa's powers for his own dark ends. With the help of the handsome, tortured Will and the devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister's war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal and fueled by revenge. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister knows their every move--and that one of their own has betrayed them. Tessa is drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa answers about who she really is? As their search leads to deadly peril, Tessa learns that secrets and lies can corrupt even the purest heart.

Customer Reviews

Great second installment

Was as compelling as the first novel! Jem and Will are each excellent love interests in their own way and Tessa is a sympathetic and awesome main character!

No dust cover

I was so excited to get the hardcover since I love the books but when I got it it didn’t have a dust cover

Severely bent

I love this book so I finally bought it but when I received my shipment the book’s pages were bent. I’m not sure if the book was just like that before shipping but if it was it should’ve been included in the description. Also, the book wasn’t wrapped in anything like bubble wrap to protect it during shipping only thin plastic.

Wrong Book

I got sent the wrong book. It has the Clockwork Prince dust jacket but the book itself is Clockwork Princess. I now have the wrong book. I ordered Clockwork Prince but got Clockwork Princess.

Wrong book

I ordered the book with a dust jacket and when i got it, it didn't come with it :(
