Covers Unveiled For Forthcoming Cassandra Clare Paperbacks

Clockwork Angel (GalleyCat)

The team at Simon & Schuster has ordered new covers for the paperback editions of two Cassandra Clare young adult series. These books will be published in September 2015.

The Tor.com blog unveiled all the designs for the Infernal Devices trilogy. Clare herself has shared the six Mortal Instruments covers on her Tumblr page. We’ve embedded the image for the Clockwork Angel jacket above—what do you think?

Illustrator Cliff Nielsen created the artwork for all nine jackets. For Nielsen, “reimagining these covers has been an exercise in trying to capture that emotion through iconography. It has been an attempt to personally connect with these beloved characters and their fictional lives, and share it as a visual parable to the throngs of Cassandra’s fans, past present and future.”
