The cover of the next of the Bane Chronicles: The Runaway Queen! Enjoy, my lovelies! Magnus, what a distinguished ring you have.
Aw.
So many Circle pictures. ;)
Can’t you two losers take one normal picture? (Says the photographer inside my head.)
Robert Lightwood and Michael Wayland being unruly teenagers?

Thank you for making our lives magical and meaningful.
Wow, I am really touched to be in this list. *reaches down, whaps John on the head*
So Cassandra Jean has finished the complete Shadowhunter Tarot, so for the next … seventy-something days I’ll be posting a card a day (okay, maybe not every day — I tend to get distracted!) in order, from the first card to the last. Some will be under spoiler cuts; some you’ll have seen before — I’ll explain why each character has the card they have.
Sebastian takes the Death card. Death is a card in the tarot that promises enormous change. It seems fitting for Sebastian, who is intent on bringing change to the Shadowhunter world, come hell or high water.
I like that Cassandra Jean has incorporated both the dark Cup and the bones of a horse, considering the passage from Revelations: “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
The full Young Circle! Valentine, Jocelyn, Hodge, Luke, Stephen, Amatis, Celine, Michael, Maryse, and Robert.
The Young Circle! (part 3 of 3)
Taadaa! Their Mottos were written by @CassieClare!
Harald Zwart (The Karate Kid) returns to direct the sequel along with Collins and Bower with shooting scheduled to start this fall from a screenplay penned by Jessica Postigo Paquette, who also wrote the script for City of Bones. Robert Kulzer (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Resident Evil franchise) is producing for Constantin Film alongside Don Carmody (Resident Evil franchise). Executive producers are Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne (The Lord of The Rings franchise) for Unique Features and Martin Moszkowicz for Constantin Film. Moszkowicz said: “We are outstandingly proud of what has been achieved on The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones – and what better proof would there be than putting the next installment of Cassandra Clare’s phenomenal vision – City of Ashes - into production now.”
So there’s that.
Taking a break briefly from the tarot card project, I asked Cassandra Jean to draw the four seasons as the four Shadowhunter series I have either written or planned right now — The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, the Dark Artifices, and The Mysterious TLH.
Here The Dark Artifices takes the season of summer at, where else, Zuma Beach in LA. From left: Cristina, Jaime, Julian, Emma, Drusilla, Tavvy, Livvy, Tiberius, and Mark. All Blackthorns but three.
The Mortal Instruments being Fall here.
The Infernal Devices being Winter here.
*claps hands* I’m so excited to write a Shadowhunter series set in my hometown of Los Angeles…oh, and check out the new Dark Artifices page on my website with a little snippet from Lady Midnight.
