The Infernal Devices is a prequel trilogy to Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series, set in the Shadowhunter universe during the Victorian era. Clockwork Angel (2010) introduces Tessa Gray, a sixteen-year-old American who arrives in London and discovers she has a rare shapeshifting ability. She is taken in by the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, where she meets Will Herondale and Jem Carstairs.
Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess (both 2013) continue the story as Tessa, Will, and Jem face the villain Mortmain and his army of clockwork automatons. After the Bridge (2013) is a short story epilogue set after the events of the trilogy. The series can be read independently of the other Shadowhunter books, though it shares characters and lore with the broader universe.
