Latest News on Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter Saga

summary

• Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter Chronicles series has not yet been completed, and the author is planning another trilogy.
• The upcoming final trilogy is called “The Wicked Powers” ​​and will connect all the previous characters and end the saga on a high.

The Shadowhunter Chronicles contains over 20 books, spread across five separate series. It might make some people wonder if the world of Cassandra Clare’s storytelling is over.

The Shadowhunter novels began in 2007 with City of Bones, which began the six-book Mortal Instrument series. Since then, Clare has written prequels, trilogies, and a sequel set in the same world.

Some fans may think that Cassandra Clare has moved on from the Shadowhunter series, especially since she released her first adult fantasy novel, Sword Catcher, in 2023.

However, the author is not finished with Shadowhunter yet. The writer states on her website that she is still thinking about a single trilogy for the series, and will likely tie all the characters together to wrap things up on a high note.

Although there’s no set release date, the author has outlined the titles of the books within the trilogy, as well as some interesting details about the grand finale.

Clare’s official website states that “The Wicked Powers” is the final trilogy planned for The Shadowhunter Chronicles.

“The Wicked Powers” will return to the modern-day world of Shadowhunters, bringing the series to a grand conclusion after the “The Last Hours” trilogy. Furthermore, this latest trilogy is set more closely to our current era, like “The Mortal Instruments” and “The Dark Artifices”, which are set in the 2000s. The series’ open climax may also pave the way for any additions by the author in the distant future.

The three books of the final trilogy are named “The Last King of Faerie,” “The Last Prince of Hell,” and “The Last Shadowhunter.”

The titles suggest a definitive ending, suggesting that the characters and Claire’s fantasy world may be destroyed over the course of the series.

As the “Cold War” between the Shadowhunters and the Fae intensifies, the names suggest we’ll be getting more action on this front.

Furthermore, it was mentioned that the final set of books in the Shadowhunter saga will revolve around the new characters we met in The Dark Artifices, such as Kit Herondale, Ty Blackthorn, and Drusilla Blackthorn.

More problems will arise between angels and demons, and Drusilla will find herself trapped in the land of faeries.

Finally, Cassandra Clare has confirmed that readers will encounter the main characters of her previous series again, perhaps for the last time ever.

Shadowhunter fans certainly won’t want to miss the grand finale to the beautiful series, so stay tuned for new updates in the future!
