Clockwork Princess Sneak Peeks

"I am not at your beck and call," Magnus sais. "I helped with de Quincey because Camille requested it of me, and Will once, because he offered me a favour in return. I am a warlock. And I do not serve Shadowhunters for free."

"Will’s eyes met Tessa’s as she came closer, almost tripping again over the torn hem of her gown. For a moment, they were in perfect understanding. Jem was what they could still look each other straight in the eye about. On the topic of Jem, they were both fierce and unyielding. Tessa saw Will’s hand tighten on Jem’s sleeve. “She’s here,” he said.

Jem’s eyes opened slowly. Tessa fought to keep the look of shock from her face. His pupils were blown out, his irises a thin ring of silver around the black. “Ni shou shang le ma, qin ai de?” he whispered."

你 受伤 了 吗，亲爱的  Ni shou shang le ma, qin ai de? Are you hurt, my love?

New Clockwork Princess snippet

Tessa put a hand against the wall as she made her way numbly down the stairs. What had she almost done? What had she nearly told Will?

Latest teaser for "Clockwork Princess"

Sited from TMI Source:

A new snippet from Clockwork Princess, the conclusion to the bestselling The Infernal Devicesseries, that will be released Mach 19, 2013.

Will rose slowly to his feet. He could not believe he was doing what he was doing, but it was clear that he was, clear as the silver rim around the black of Jem’s eyes. “If there is a life after this one,” he said, “let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.”

“There will be other lives.” Jem held his hand out, and for a moment, they clasped hands, as they had done during their parabatai ritual, reaching across twin rings of fire to interlace their fingers with each other. “The world is a wheel,” he said. “When we rise or fall, we do it together.

Will tightened his grip on Jem’s hand, which felt thin as twigs in his. “Well, then,” he said, through a tight throat, “since you say there will be another life for me, let us both pray I do not make as colossal a mess of it as I have this one.”

New teaser from Clockwork Princess

Here is the latest snippet from CP:


Jem leaned closer against the chair, staring into the fire. “Better it were my hands,” he said.

Will shook his head. Exhaustion was muting the edges of everything in the room, blurring the flocked wallpaper into a single mass of dark color. “No. Not your hands. You need your hands for the violin. What do I need mine for?”

Cassandra Clare leaves a hint on Wills Family

On tumblr Cassandra Clare answered this question:

Ok, maybe i am splitting some hairs here but I think this means we meet the rest of Wills family in the next Infernal Devices book.

Posted by Rapunzel

P.S I have posted so much Shadowhunter news... I feel like i am about to go into overload. Ah well we can blame it on being busy in the holiday and not have enough time to post it all as it comes out.

Clockwork Princess Teasers

Here are the most recent Clockwork Angel Teasers...

• "Jem knotted his fingers in the material of Will’s sleeve. “You are my parabatai,” he said. “You said once I could ask anything of you.”

• J
  em drew the bow back and let the arrow fly; it struck the creature in the side. The massive demon worm writhed in agony, undulating as it swept its great, blind head from side to side, uprooting shrubbery with its thrashings. Leaves filled the air and the boys choked on dust, Gideon backing up with his seraph blade in his hand, trying to see by its light. 
  “It’s coming toward us,” he said in a low voice. 
  And indeed it was, the arrow still protruding from its wet, grayish skin, humping its body along with incredible speed. A flick of its tail caught the edge of a statue, sending it flying into the dry ornamental pool, where it shattered into dust. 
  “By the Angel, it just crushed Sophocles,” noted Will. “Has no one respect for the classics these days?”

• And the gold of her ruined wedding dress.

So there it is... the last one freaking anyone else out as well???

Clockwork Princess Teasers

These are the two most recent clockwork Princess teasers released by Cassandra Clare in celebration of the YA-sisterhoods tournament of the heroines (which by the way you should all go and vote in).

The first teaser:

"'Would you?" said Gabriel to Will, hotly 'If it was your family' His lip curled. 'Never mind. Its not as if you know the meaning of loyalty-'
'Gabriel.' Gideon's voice was a reprimand to his brother. 'Do not speak to Will in that manner.'"

Second:

'"He began it', Cecily said, jerking her chin at Will, though she knew it was pointless. Jem, Wills parabatai, treated her with the distant sweet kindness reserved for the little sisters of ones friends, but he would always side with Will. Kindly, but firmly, he put Will above everything else in the world. Well, nearly everything."

Cassandra Clare gives 'opening chapter quote' in upcoming Clockwork Princess

On her tumble Cassandra Clare said that this quote by Swineburne is featured in Clockwork Angel.


"At the door of life, by the gate of breath,
There are worse things waiting for men than death;
Death could not sever my soul and you,
      As these have severed your soul from me."

Is anyone else getting the dying-Jem-Tessa-romance feel from this?
