Cassandra Clare mesmerized readers across the globe with the publication of City of Bones, the first book in the Mortal Instruments series, and was quickly dubbed the “New Queen of Fantasy” by the Wall Street Journal. The Mortal Instruments became the basis for the far-reaching Shadowhunter Chronicles, an intricately drawn world that has seen global success and has been adapted into both a feature film and television show. Her books have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.
