City of Lost Souls snippet: 1 DAY left

Can fanart be spoilery? I am not sure exactly. I decided this would be the last snippet of City of Lost Souls before the release tomorrow. Enjoy it and the art by Charlotte (Street-Angel) that illustrates the scene.

So this was what her brother looked like. Really looked like. A pale face, all angles and planes, tall and slim in black gear. His hair was silvery-white, not dark as it had been when she had first seen him, dyed to match the color of the real Sebastian Verlac’s. His own pale color suited him better. His eyes were black and snapping with life and energy.

 Standing beside him, his golden hair shimmering in the pale sunlight, was Jace. But not the Jace Clary had imagined so often over the past two weeks …

A collage of stills from the City of Lost Souls book trailer. They’re still mixing the sound but it should be released in the next two weeks. I’ve seen a few clips and I think it’ll be cool. :)
