Books with title City of Bones

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Don't miss The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, soon to be a major motion picture in theaters August 2013. Enter the world of the Shadowhunters in this special edition of the New York Times bestselling City of Bones, complete with gorgeous cover art from the movie. When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder-much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. And she's more than a little startled when the body disappears into thin air. Soon Clary is introduced to the world of the Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of warriors dedicated to driving demons out of our world and back to their own. And Clary is introduced with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a grotesque monster. How could a mere human survive such an attack and kill a demon? The Shadowhunters would like to know...

On New Year's Day, a dog finds a bone in the Hollywood Hills--and unearths a murder committed more than twenty years earlier. It's a cold case, but for Detective Harry Bosch, it stirs up memories of his childhood as an orphan. He can't let it go. As the investigation takes Bosch deeper into the past, a beautiful rookie cop brings him alive in the present. No official warning can break them apart--or prepare Bosch for the explosions when the case takes a few hard turns. Suddenly all of L.A. is in an uproar, and Bosch, fighting to keep control, is driven to the brink of an unimaginable decision.

There are forces that exist at the edge of consciousness and if everything is aligned just right, you may catch glimpses of them as they hover above, or lope, slither, or skitter around you. Tyler Willis discovered they exist in that space of the mind forming The Borderlands. It lies between what he knew as the real world and the immense stretches of a secret and hidden world that he was destined to enter.Something unusual happened to Tyler Willis. The experience tore open the gate of the Borderlands and he stepped through into the unknown. Having a clear purpose rescued him from beings whose sole aim was to distract or destroy him. It allowed him to attract allies, defeat enemies, and secure a priceless treasure, not for himself, but for another.At first, Tyler Willis viewed his life as a circle of light on a darkened stage. After his journey through the Cave of Bones, he realized the darkness outside of that lighted circle stood for what he did not understand and for what he feared most.Once his first journey was over, he would undertake two more daring walkabouts into the Cave of the Spirit Walkers and into the Cave of the Ancestors to push back against that darkness and enlarge his circle of light.We will accompany Tyler on his journeys of discovery. He starts out as a 12-year-old youth full of self-doubt, fear, and uncertainty. By the end of his third journey he has fought battles, faced demons, endured suffering, and found love. He earns his manhood not only through common experience that time confers on all regardless, but through the choices he makes and his uncommon strength of will to complete the missions he starts.
