The premise

In New York City, Clary Fray, a seemingly ordinary teenager, learns that she is descended from a line of Shadowhunters — half-angel warriors who protect humanity from evil forces. After her mother disappears, Clary joins forces with a group of Shadowhunters and enters Downworld, an alternate realm filled with demons, vampires, and a host of other creatures. Clary and her companions must find and protect an ancient cup that holds the key to her mother's future.

Horror Vault's take

When her mother vanishes without a trace, New York teenager Clary Fray is plunged into a shadowy underworld she never knew existed — one populated by demon hunters, vampires, warlocks, and worse. Suddenly forced to confront a heritage she was never meant to know, Clary must learn to fight alongside a band of half-angel warriors called Shadowhunters. A powerful relic lies at the heart of the mystery, and the race to claim it will test everything Clary thought she knew about herself and the world around her.
