Cover Art – City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
Here is the brand new, hot off the press cover for Cassandra Clare’s City of Fallen Angels – Book 4 in The Mortal Instruments Series!
Love, blood, betrayal and revenge – the stakes are higher than ever…….
City of Angels is to be released in April 2011, just before Cassandra’s tour of Australia and New Zealand.
Here is the press release:
Walker Books announces New York Times best-selling author Cassandra Clare will be touring Australia and New Zealand in May 2011.
Cassandra Clare – author of the best-selling series The Mortal Instruments – will be visiting the cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland between the dates of 12-27 May 2011.
During her time here Cassandra will be a guest author at the Sydney Writers’ Festival and the Auckland Writers and Readers Festival, participating in their School Days programs as well as general public events.
Australian and New Zealand readers have rushed to embrace the books in her series: City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass, causing each release to break in to the top ten bestseller lists nationally.
Cassandra’s legions of fans who connect to the books’ themes of courage and honour, love and sacrifice, will be gearing up for the greatly-anticipated release of the fourth book in the sequence – CITY OF FALLEN ANGELS, which will be released shortly before her tour.
Cassandra is looking forward to meeting Australian/New Zealand devotees of her books.
“I’m so excited to be heading to Australia in 2011!” enthuses Cassandra. “First off, I’ve never been “Down Under” and I’ve always wanted to go. Secondly, I get the best fan mail from my Australian readers! They’re so articulate, thoughtful and enthusiastic about books! I’m literally counting the days till I’m on my way!”
Hollywood studios are also in negotiations to greenlight a movie series of The Mortal Instruments which is already hotly tipped to rival the phenomenon of the Harry Potter and Twilight movie franchises.
WHO WILL BE TEMPTED BY DARKNESS?
WHO WILL FIND THEIR ROMANCE TORN APART?
WHO WILL BETRAY EVERYTHING THEY EVER BELIEVED IN?

And if all that wasn’t enough, her is an excerpt of City of Fallen Angels:
Simon glanced toward the window. It was a brisk night, and the
wind was blowing leaves across Second Avenue like handfuls of
thrown confetti. There was a girl walking down the street, a girl in a
tight belted trench coat, with long black hair that flew in the wind.
People turned to watch her as she walked past. Simon had looked at
girls like that before in the past, idly wondering where they were
going, who they were meeting. Not guys like him, he knew that
much.
Except this one was. The bell on the diner’s front door rang as the
door opened, and Isabelle Lightwood came in. She smiled when she
saw Simon, and came toward him, shrugging off her coat and draping
it over the back of the chair before she sat down. Under the coat
she was wearing one of what Clary called her “typical Isabelle outfits”:
a tight short velvet dress, fishnet stockings, and boots. There
was a knife stuck into the top of her left boot that Simon knew only
he could see; still, everyone in the diner was watching as she sat
down, flinging her hair back. Whatever she was wearing, Isabelle
drew attention like a fireworks display.
Beautiful Isabelle Lightwood. When Simon had met her, he’d assumed
she’d have no time for a guy like him. He’d turned out to be
mostly right. Isabelle liked boys her parents disapproved of, and in
her universe that meant Downworlders—faeries, werewolves, and
vamps. That they’d been dating regularly for the past month or two
amazed him, even if their relationship was limited mostly to infrequent
meetings like this one. And even if he couldn’t help but
wonder, if he’d never been changed into a vampire, if his whole life
hadn’t been altered in that moment, would they be dating at all?
