Under the watchful eyes of the mages, they are taught to use magic to bring order to a chaotic world.But now the chaos is fighting back.

In evil hands, it has the capacity to do immeasurable harm—unless it is stopped in time.In this striking third book of Magisterium, bestselling authors Holly Black and Cassandra Clare present us with a school where anything—good or evil—can happen, and the only way to unlock the truth is to risk everything to find it.
