* TheVerse: ''Franchise/TheShadowhunterChronicles'' consisting of this series, its predecessor ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'', ''Literature/TheDarkArtifices'' (sequel to ''The Mortal Instruments), ''The Last Hours'' (sequel to ''The Infernal Devices''), ''The Wicked Powers'' (sequel to ''The Dark Artifices''), ''The Eldest Curses'' (spin-off focusing on Alec and Magnus), ''Literature/TheBaneChronicles'' (short storie collection), ''Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy'' (short storie collection) and ''Ghosts of the Shadowmarket'' (short storie collection), all taking place in the Shadowhunter world.

* GrayEyes:
** Jem Carstair's eyes, [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow like his hair]], are silver.
** Gideon Lightwood has gray-green eyes, gray for his calmness, green for his Shadowhunter powers.

* TheVerse: This is a prequel to ''Literal/TheMortalInstruments'' that takes place in the same universe.

The trilogy is written by Creator/CassandraClare as a prequel to her previous series, ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments''. It consists of:

* UnknownCharacter: Tessa's Greater Demon father definitely qualifies. Unlike pretty much every protagonists' relatives in Cassandra Clare's universe who are pretentiously named even if they are long dead and just a part of a family tree, Tessa's father is never named, nor seen, nor heard. But his existence and especially what he did ([[CaptainObvious impregnating Tessa's mother, duh]]) is what kickstarts the whole series in the first place.

* ''Clockwork Angel'' (2010)
* ''Clockwork Prince'' (2011)
* ''Clockwork Princess'' (2013)

The trilogy is written by Creator/CassandraClare as a prequel to her previous series, ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments''. Clockwork Princess, the third and final book in the series has been released. This series has [[Characters/InfernalDevices a character sheet]], so please put all character-related tropes there.

Not to be confused with the third book of the ''Literature/MortalEngines'' quartet, or with K.W. Jeter's seminal steampunk novel.

* BritishAccents:
** Tessa's brother Nate, despite being from New York, has one of these. He uses "oughtn't" on several occasions. You know, like every American[[note]]Consider the time period, though. It's not too hard to believe that the educated Gray siblings would use what they perceive as more refined word choice--even though it isn't, but merely British English vs. American--regardless of nationality[[/note]].
** Thomas has a tendency to slip into his East End accent when outside the Institute.

* SharedUniverse: The series is a prequel to ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'', which is set in the same universe as the ''Literature/ModernFaerieTales'' by HollyBlack.

[[caption-width-right:250: Welcome to [[AustinPowers London, baby!!!]].]]

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Will and Jem. So much that even though both boys love Tessa, they are willing to let the other one have her and even if Jem died after marrying Tessa, Will would never pursue Tessa as he feels it would be a betrayal to his friend.

* InterspeciesRomance: Will's parents, a Mundane and a Shadowhunter, Tessa with both Will and Jem, Sophie with Gideon, also a Mundane and a Shadowhunter, [[spoiler:Benedict Lightwood and an unknown number of Demonesses]], Magnus and Camille Belcourt, a Warlock and a Vampire respectively, Camille again, with her former lover, a Werewolf, and Magnus again, with Woolsey Scott, also a Werewolf. Jessamine also develops feelings for Tessa's brother, Nate, though this may just be out of her desire to be a Mundane.

* LoveTriangle: Will-->Tessa<--Jem.

* MixedAncestry: Technically anyone of note in this series. Shadowhunters are half-angel half-human, Warlocks are half-demon half-human, Faeries are half-angel half-demon, etc etc.

* TheReveal:

The trilogy is written by Creator/CassandraClare as a prequel to her previous series, The ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments''.

%% ** Tessa

%% ** Sophie, oh, so much.

* ChekhovsGun: Will talking about [[spoiler: Boadicea]] later on gives, [[spoiler: Tessa the strength to fool the Magister]]

Not to be confused with the third book of the ''MortalEngines'' quartet, or with K.W. Jeter's seminal steampunk novel.

* SharedUniverse: The series is a prequel to ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'', which is set in the same universe as the ModernTalesOfFaerie by HollyBlack.

* TrilogyCreep: The series can be considered one to the original ''Literature/MortalInstruments'' series.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Mortmain is ACTUALLY the Magister]] also, [[spoiler: Tessa's dad was a demon who fooled his mom into thinking he was her husband, and having his half-demon warlock baby!]] BUT this is Literature/MortalInstruments so expect some of this stuff to change as the series progresses.
