Why these tropes fit
The fifth installment of the Mortal Instruments series follows Clary Fray as she discovers the demon Lilith’s curse has bound her beloved Jace to her evil brother Sebastian, transforming Jace into a servant of evil. The Clave seeks to destroy Sebastian, but any harm to him would also kill Jace. As Clary’s found family—Alec, Magnus, Simon, and Isabelle—bargain with Seelies, demons, and the Iron Sisters to save Jace, Clary undertakes her own dangerous mission, willing to sacrifice her own life and Jace’s soul to rescue him from the curse and the darkness consuming him.
