UPCOMING BOOKS

A note: If you signed up for my Kickstarter, you’ll be receiving four Shadowhunter books, Secrets of Blackthorn Hall, Careful of Books: Four Novellas, Better in Black: Ten Short Stories, and A History of Notable Downworlders and Shadowhunters starting in May 2024 and going through to early 2025.

The Ragpicker King by Cassandra Clare

March 4, 2025: The Ragpicker King, the second book in The Chronicles of Castellane.

The Ragpicker King is the sequel to Sword Catcher. In it, Kel — now fully embedded with the Ragpicker King and his crew — tries to solve a mystery: Who’s responsible for the murders in the Shining Gallery? If someone’s plotting against Castellane, who is it? And why is the woman he’s loved since he was a child, Antonetta Alleyne, determined to marry a monster?

Meanwhile, Lin Caster must face a series of tests to prove whether or not she is the Goddess of the Ashkar people, meant to lead them through a coming battle. At the same time she struggles with her feelings for Conor Aurelian, Prince of Castellane, a man she is forbidden to love. Sign up here to get notified as soon as Ragpicker King is available! (You won’t get any other emails — just a notification the minute it goes up for pre-order.)

The Last King of Faerie, the first book in The Wicked Powers, will be out everywhere in Spring 2026.

THE WICKED POWERS IS THE FINAL TRILOGY IN THE SHADOWHUNTER CHRONICLES.

It follows Kit Herondale, Ty Blackthorn, and Drusilla Blackthorn from The Dark Artifices series, as they are drawn into the final massive conflict between the side of demons and the side of angels. Their story drives the narrative, as Dru is pulled into matters of Faerie and the life of Ash Morgenstern and Kit and Ty must solve a mysterious disappearance. Meanwhile Janus, the dark version of Jace Herondale, plots to bring the whole world under his power — along with his demon accomplices, he hopes to rule over everything with Clary Fray by his side. Can Kit, Dru, Ash, and Ty, separated from their friends and family, hope to hold him back?

While these four are our main characters, we’ll also be checking in with so many others — Jace, Clary, Magnus, Alec, Emma, Julian, Mark, Kieran, Cristina, Jem, Tessa — probably for the last time ever! The Wicked Powers calls the whole fate of the Shadowhunters into question, and will change their world forever.
