A strong and independent orphan wields a power so great, but she must be aware as darkness is coming, and it's coming fast.
Shadow and Bone follows the life of Alina Starkov, a teenage orphan who grows up in the land of Ravka. The Russian-inspired land has been torn in two realms by a swath of darkness so thick, with creeping monsters that feed on human flesh. A darkness that comes with a name, the Shadow Fold.
When Alina's friend gets cruelly injured, Alina discovers a power she didn't know she had. Revealing her power, she's able to save her best friend's life. But with power comes danger. Her power could be the key to stop this war and defeat the darkness. In order to do so, Aline must learn to use her power. She's sent to the Royal Court where she's trained like the magical elite.
Yet nothing is what it seems and with darkness around the corner, the faith of the once-great nation rests on the shoulders of a young girl named Alina.

Evil contained is not evil destroyed.'
An ancient evil threatens to destroy the survival of the Four Lands. The old enchanted Tree of the Elves, the Ellcrys, is dying. There is only one solution to stop the Ellcrys from giving its last energy; one must carry the seed of the eldest to the Bloodfire so the Ellcrys can be reborn. Without the protection of the tree, the Four Realms will only know doom as demons will be once free to roam the earth. As the Ellcrys is getting weaker, demons are escaping from the boundary.
Amberle, the Elven King's granddaughter, is chosen to lead the quest of bringing the seed to the Bloodfire. But she must not go alone. A Druid named Allanon gets to pick the protector of Amberle on the journey. A young man, named Will Ohmsford, is destined to go with her. Will has great Elven magic, but he doesn't know how to use it. Together with Amberle, Will is set to complete their task. But as time is running out and danger is close by, will they succeed their mission? Or will the Four Lands go down in misery?

"When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know..." - Goodreads
