In December 2007, when the Clave called for the worldwide retreat of all Shadowhunters to Alicante in light of Sebastian Morgenstern's attacks, Cristina and her mother stayed in her mother's home in San Miguel de Allende to hide, as Tomás was convinced that Idris would not be safe. In her early teens, she would set up targets and practice throwing knives among the plants and shrubs-a habit she stopped after she and Jaime frightened several visiting Shadowhunters. Ĭristina loved to hang out in the Institute gardens. She became romantically involved with Diego-a relationship that her mother approved of because she deemed him "perfect"-and planned to be parabatai with Jaime. Her father died when she was young, and she had a considerably close, yet sometimes resentful, relationship with her mother who seemed to have her whole life mapped out for her.Ĭristina was particularly close with two fellow, but very distantly-related, Rosales: brothers Diego and Jaime. But success may come with a price he and Emma cannot even imagine, one that will bring with it a reckoning of blood that could have repercussions for everyone and everything they hold dear.Cristina underwent most of her training at the Mexico City Institute, which was run by her uncle, Tomás. As dangers close in, Julian devises a risky scheme that depends on the cooperation of an unpredictable enemy. When Downworlders turn against the Clave, a new threat rises in the form of the Lord of Shadows-the Unseelie King, who sends his greatest warriors to slaughter those with Blackthorn blood and seize the Black Volume.
They’ll do anything in their power to expose Julian’s secrets and take the Los Angeles Institute for their own. Meanwhile, rising tension between Shadowhunters and Downworlders has produced the Cohort, an extremist group of Shadowhunters dedicated to registering Downworlders and “unsuitable” Nephilim. Spurred on by a dark bargain with the Seelie Queen, Emma her best friend, Cristina and Mark and Julian Blackthorn journey into the Courts of Faerie, where glittering revels hide bloody danger and no promise can be trusted. Their only hope is the Black Volume of the Dead, a spell book of terrible power. But how can she when the Blackthorns are threatened by enemies on all sides? The word of a Shadowhunter is a solemn pledge, and no vow is more sacred than the vow that binds parabatai, warrior partners-sworn to fight together, die together, but never to fall in love.Įmma Carstairs has learned that the love she shares with her parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, isn’t just forbidden-it could destroy them both. Would you trade your soul mate for your soul?Ī Shadowhunter’s life is bound by duty.
