Rescued by the London Institute and the brooding Will Herondale, Tessa discovers she possesses a rare and dangerous power: the ability to shape-shift. Illustrated by HyeKyung Baek, this manga adaptation brings to life the steampunk atmosphere of 1878 London, capturing the romance, danger, and supernatural intrigue of the original novel as Tessa and the Shadowhunters investigate the Magister, a terrifying enemy building an army of clockwork creatures.

She is rescued by Will Herondale and Jem Carstairs—two young Shadowhunters (warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons)—and taken to the London Institute. There, Tessa learns that she is not a mundane human but something far more rare: a shape-shifter. She becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving the secretive Magister, a rogue warlock who seeks to use her power for nefarious purposes.
