Cassandra Clare has signed a deal with the Simon & Schuster imprint, Saga Press. She has become well-known for her hit young adult series set in the Shadowhunters universe.
Clare will collaborate with Wesley Chu, a renowned science-fiction author, to write an adult fiction trilogy profiling a popular Shadowhunters character: Magnus Bane. Book one will be released in November 2017.
Clare gave this statement in the press release: “Over the years writing the Shadowhunter books, Magnus Bane has emerged as one of the most fun and fascinating characters for me to bring to life. He’s always had a lot of secrets— there are so many things we don’t know about Magnus, from the story of his first love to the secrets of his parentage, to the beginning of his relationship with Alec. All those are things I was able to touch on in The Bane Chronicles, but I’m excited to dig in even more deeply in these three volumes devoted to Magnus, his past, his future, and his present.”
