A virtual talk with the mega-bestselling author Cassandra Clare
An exciting evening online with international best-selling author Cassandra Clare about her newest and final book in The Last Hours (Shadowhunters) series, Chain of Thorns. Clare's highly readable YA urban fantasy books are some of the most popular books borrowed by Burlington Public Library members.
Full of romance, mystery, humour, and fanciful creatures where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians, The Last Hours series culminates with Shadowhunter Cordelia facing a deadly army. If she and her friends are going to save their city—and their families—they will have to muster their courage, swallow their pride, and trust one another again. For if they fail, they may lose everything—even their souls.
Cassandra Clare was born to American parents in Teheran, Iran and spent much of her childhood travelling the world with her family, including one trek through the Himalayas as a toddler where she spent a month living in her father’s backpack. She lived in France, England and Switzerland before she was ten years old. Her first YA novel City of Bones was inspired by the urban landscape of Manhattan, her favorite city.
City of Bones became instant #1 New York Times bestseller and Clare increased her best-seller status with the rest of The Mortal Instruments series, The Infernal Devices series, and The Last Hours series.
