Biography:
Cassandra Clare was born overseas and spent her early years traveling around the world with her family and several trunks of books. She’s worked as a bookseller, an event planner for a children’s bookshop, a freelance writer, an entertainment journalist in Hollywood and a copyeditor for The National Enquirer, among other odd jobs. City of Bones is her first novel, and the first in the upcoming Mortal Instruments Trilogy, a dark young adult fantasy series set in New York and published by Simon and Schuster. The next two books will be City of Blood, coming in 2008, and City of Glass, coming in 2009. She lives in Brooklyn with her boyfriend and their two cats.
Book: City of Bones
City of Bones is the first book of the Mortal Instruments Trilogy, a dark urban fantasy series about a sixteen-year old girl, Clary Fray, who lives in New York with her single mother, an artist. She comes home one night to find her apartment ransacked, her mother gone—and a slavering demon ready to tear off her head. Clary’s search for her mother leads her into an alternate New York filled with hideous demons, hard-partying warlocks, not-what-they-seem vampires, an army of werewolves and the scariest thing of all: the secrets of her own family’s past. She also finds herself torn between two boys—her best friend Simon, for whom she’s developing new feelings, and the mysterious demon hunter Jace, who has a past more tangled than her own. She becomes a part of the secret word of the demon hunters, or Nephilim, and as she does she discovers that rescuing her mother might mean putting their whole world in jeopardy.
