This is a used copy of The Shadowhunter’s Codex (The Infernal Devices) in English. This guide details the world of the Shadowhunters, drawing from the bestselling The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series. It prepares new Shadowhunters for their duty to protect the world from demons, providing essential lore and knowledge for survival. Study closely – this book may be the key to life and death. Welcome and congratulations. You have been chosen to become one of the Nephilim. Soon, if you have not already, you will drink from the Mortal Cup, taking into yourself the blood of angels, and you will become one of the Shadowhunters, named for the founder of our order. Our eternal work is the battle against the forces of darkness that encroach upon our world. We also keep the peace in the Shadow World—the hidden societies of magic and magical creatures wrought by the demons we fight—and keep it hidden from the mundane world. And this now is also your charge. You are protector, defender, knight errant in the name of the angels. You will be trained to fight demons, to protect mundanes, to negotiate the complex landscape of Downworlders—werewolves, vampires, and the like—that you will encounter. Your life will be spent in the pursuit of the angelic against the demonic. And when you die, you will die with glory. This may appear an intimidating description of the Shadowhunter’s life, but we must emphasize the sacredness and the weight of our mission. Joining the Nephilim is not like becoming a mundane policeman, or even a mundane soldier. “Shadowhunter” is not what you do; it is who you are. Every aspect of your life will change to accommodate the holy assignment you have been chosen for.
