#tbt: A Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare


A Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. 544p. Margaret K. McElderry Books/ Simon & Schuster, 2010.

Happy Thursday TMS Readers! #tbt features A Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. This is the first book in the trilogy called The Infernal Devices and was published in 2010. It is the story of Tessa and Will, who (spoiler alert) will eventually become James' (from Monday's featured book) parents. 

When Tessa's aunt dies, she's invited to live in England by her brother Nate, but she's kidnapped upon her arrival by two sisters, Mrs. Black and Mrs. Dark. They are warlocks and inform Tessa that she is one as well. They want to awaken her powers, then marry her off to the Magister. When she refuses, the sisters threaten to kill Nate. She's eventually rescued by Will Herondale and his colleagues from the Institute. Charlotte offers her sanctuary as they hunt for the Magister.

Clockwork Angel was a YALSA Top Ten pick, a NYT Bestseller and has made many state book award lists.
