Banded together, the trio embarks on a quest to hunt down the Magister, prevent his Infernal Devices from destroying the Nephilim, and discover the origins of Tessa's extraordinary powers as a shapeshifting immortal.
The Infernal Devices finds it difficult to correct by being historical when illegitimacy, deleted records or unrecorded lives, and other forms of erasure and fantasy constitute both a mixed-race archive and cultural memory. The Infernal Devices' investment in an interracial romance draws our attention away from Tessa's development as a heroine and towards the romance of race. This chapter explores the relationship between whiteness, Eurasian identity, and masculinity by showing how the deployment of the Victorian can reinforce, rather than critique, discourses of whiteness and racism that bleed from the past into present and, it seems, beyond the books themselves. Among the London Institute where Tessa took upon residing, she is gradually drawn to and torn between two best friends, Will Herondale and Jem Carstairs.
The Infernal Devices trilogy-Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess-form a prequel to Clare's wildly popular The Mortal Instruments series. All three books in the 1 New York Times bestselling Infernal Devices trilogy are now together in one boxed set Step back in time with the Shadowhunters.
