Description

Delve into the details of all things Shadowhunter with this illustrated guide to the knowledge and lore of the Shadowhunter world.

Since the thirteenth century, the Shadowhunter’s Codex has been the one and only manual for Shadowhunters looking to brush up on their demon languages, learn proper stele use, and discover just what exactly a pyxis is. Featured in both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices, this guide is a necessity for any young Nephilim on their journey to becoming a Shadowhunter. Beautifully illustrated, the Codex contains images of the famous Shadowhunter homeland of Idris, as well as depictions of demons and other Downworlders.

But this isn’t just any copy of The Shadowhunter’s Codex. It’s Clary’s copy, and as an artist herself, she’s sketched pictures of her friends and family in the book, and scrawled helpful advice in the margins. Of course, she couldn’t exactly stop Jace or Simon from adding their thoughts either. Part encyclopedia, part history, part training manual—complete with commentary from Shadowhunters who have seen it all—this beautiful guide is a perfect supplement to the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

    I was introduced to the wonderful world of Shadowhunters, Downworlders and Mundanes by my daughter while she was in middle school. She has just graduated high school and heads to Gettysburg University in the Fall. We both have a love for literature in every form. I read The City of Bones and became transfixed! I have just completed The City of Heavenly Fire and absolutely love the wrap up of old questions and fears and the introductions to new adventures for the Nephilim. I am quite excited to read the Codex to gain better understanding of such a magical world. I look forward to the next great work coming in 2015. I believe Emma and Julian are going to prove to be just as captivating as the beloved characters of the Mortal Instruments series. With great admiration, Mrs. C. Zinner
