The Dark Artifices is a three-book series set in the Shadowhunter world, shifting the action from New York to the Los Angeles Institute. Lady Midnight (2016), Lord of Shadows (2017), and Queen of Air and Darkness (2018) follow Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn through a story that combines murder mystery with faerie court politics and a forbidden romance.

The series builds on the world established in The Mortal Instruments while introducing new characters and expanding the Shadowhunter mythology into the realm of the Fair Folk. The LA setting gives the series a different atmosphere from the New York-based originals.
