Publisher's summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cassandra Clare comes an exciting new short story collection that follows Jem Carstairs as he travels through the many Shadow Markets around the world. Ghosts of the Shadow Market is a Shadowhunters novel.

The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks, and vampires. There, the Downworlders buy and sell magical objects, make dark bargains, and whisper secrets they do not want the Nephilim to know. Through two centuries, however, there has been a frequent visitor to the Shadow Market from the City of Bones, the very heart of the Shadowhunters’ world. As a Silent Brother, Brother Zachariah is a sworn keeper of the laws and lore of the Nephilim. But once he was a Shadowhunter called Jem Carstairs, and his love, then and always, is the warlock Tessa Gray. And Jem is searching through the Shadow Markets, in many different cities over long years, for a relic from his past.

Follow Jem and see, against the backdrop of the Shadow Market’s dark dealings and festival, Anna Lightwood’s doomed romance, Matthew Fairchild’s great sin, and Tessa Gray as she is plunged into a world war. Valentine Morgenstern buys a soul at the Market, and a young Jace Wayland’s soul finds safe harbor. In the Market is hidden a lost heir and a beloved ghost, and no one can save you once you have traded away your heart. Not even Brother Zachariah.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

loved this

I absolutely loved this book. It was a very much needed and interesting compilations of short stories that are probably good to know before you go on to read the next set of the series.

Waiting for the Wicked Powers so badly

En general me ha encantado la historia! Saber todo lo que tuvo que vivir Jem para poder encontrar al "Herondale perdido" y cómo acabó todo es conmovedor. El amor y la devoción que Jem siente por Will fue lo que lo llevó a encontrarse con Kit y brindarle la oportunidad de tener la familia que merece, es simplemente hermoso. Lo único que lamento es saber que toda esta paz y felicidad que sienten los personajes ahora se va a ver destruida en The Wicked Powers y eso es muy injusto, aún así ansío leer esa trilogía lo más pronto posible.

Must-Read, Pivotal to Main Storyline

Narrators feature star power like Emily Bett Rickards, who played Felicity Smoak on The Arrow. This really made this audibook for me. I thought since this was a collection of stories, that they wouldn't be central to the plot, but there's a whole slew of stories featuring characters likes Kit, Ty, Livy, Thul Jace, Alec, Lily and more. Really powerful ending, setting up for The Wicked Powers. Can't wait!

excellent series of stories.

If you have followed this series and the characters, you wont be disappointed as you learn more about the shadowhunter world and brother zachariah, through his impressive life following the clockwork series.

Love it!! Can't wait for more!!!

You definitely need to know the series in order to appreciate these short stories.
I love the creativity that went into these stories. it was like you did not know you needed them but so happy that you got them. it fills in some gaps in such an interesting and intriguing way.
I just want more and more. However, the series does a really good job with that!!
Such a big fan!!

Note: I would listen to these after you listen to the dark artifacts series, and well all the other too.
Again, I can't wait to see where this goes next!!

A masterpiece like always.

Loved all of the different readers for each chapter. Really enjoyed the way it broke up each story. Each one read so well!

Great wrap up

I really enjoy her entire series. These side stories do such a great job wrapping things up or explaining little side stories. So well written and entertaining to boot.

Better than I expected

didn't expect much since I'm no lover of short stories or co writing. but the book is fine to listen to while cleaning

Filled in or elaborated on characters.

Really liked this. It Elaborated on the beginning of some of the characters. Or tied up loose ends for others. I really enjoyed this listen.

Bringing everything together

Shadow market, Bane Chronicles, and Shadow Hunter Academy are all must reads for anyone who loves this world. All 3 books help bring understanding and depth to characters from the various series. I'm really hoping that at some point we get a book about the circle that shows why or what made Valentine such a down world hater. It has to be deeper than the story we know.
