Cassandra Clare

Walker Books will use the same cover art for the forthcoming City of Glass by Cassandra Clare as used in the USA and Australia. These covers have proved hugely successful in those territories and we are convinced that this approach will take Cassie's books to a new level in the UK & Ireland.
City of Bones and City of Ashes will be reprinted with the USA covers in the Autumn.
