Shadowhunters will be happy to hear that Cassandra Clare will continue to expand her world in her newly announced series, The Last Hours.
The news came in after The Bookseller reported Walker Books’s purchase of the series. Walker Books will be the publisher for the UK, Australian and New Zealand editions of the books.
Clare had the following to say about the series:
The Last Hours is a new Shadowhunters series set in 1903. It deals with Will and Tessa’s children, James and Lucie Herondale, as well as Cordelia Carstairs, Charlotte and Henry’s children, Tatiana Blackthorn’s children, the Lightwood kids, and many more. 1903 is right around the time the Victorian era tips over into the Edwardian era — beautiful clothes, fabulous history and so much more that I’m excited to write about!
The books will interconnect with The Dark Artifices trilogy as two separate trilogies that are also the stories of the Blackthorns, Herondales and Carstairs, much like TMI and The Infernal Devices interconnected despite taking place in different time periods and locations. The exact order of publication isn’t decided yet. Lady Midnight, the first of the Dark Artifices, will certainly be the next Shadowhunter book coming out, and I’ll keep you up to date on the publication order when it’s nailed down.
What do you think? Are you excited for more Shadhunter madness?!
