As some of you may know, starting from tomorrow, Cassie has a busy weekend in London with talks and signings, and our team is going to be covering every little minute of it. We will report here, at BritishNephilim.com, with articles after each event to keep you updated as much as we can. As well as this, Eilidh will be vlogging the whole weekend, so if you don’t have access to much social media…
Can’t make it to YALC this year to see Cassandra Clare? Well here’s another chance! On Friday 17th July Cassandra Clare will be joined by the artist of the new The Mortal Instruments reissued covers, Míla Fürstová, for a Q and A and signing! Here’s some more information: Cassandra Clare’s internationally bestselling The Mortal Instruments series is being re-launched in July with stunning new…
This was a very busy week in the fandom as they started filming the Shadowhunters TV show this week. Below are some of the important things that we learnt about in fandom, including behind-the-scenes pictures and videos from the set, casting news, book cover releases and new snippets.
Monday
We started off the morning with some book news! The Magesterium Series, which is co-written by Cassie and her friend (and awesome author) Holly Black – got some new covers for us UK based fans! Have a look at them below!
We also got this information about the early drafts of The Infernal Devices that made me really wish I could read those drafts
The fandom then got quickly excited as Monday was the start of filming on the Shadowhunters TV Show, which is super exciting for both fans and cast!
We got some casting news, Sofia Wells was cast as young Clary – used for any flashbacks that will be used in the show! You can check out her our post about it here and check out the tweet below between our own Eilidh (TMIScotland) and Cassie!
Below are some tweets, videos and pictures from both cast and crew on Monday behind the scene and on set!

McG also shared a little video of Clary and Simon singing together. He later deleted it but we luckily saved it:
Maxim ‘Jocelyn’ Roy also shared this behind-the-scenes picture at Java Jones:

A look at the Pandemonium sign:
I loved this tweet:

Fans joined together to try to explain to the writers that we wanted Izzy to have her ruby pendant in the show:
And we got it trending in some parts of the world:
Stephan who works on the VFX department noticed it:
Alan ‘Valentine’ Van Sprang started his first day of filming:

Harry expressed how tired he was after the shoot in this video from SnapChat:
Saturday
Alberto shared this funny moment of Dom:
after that fun picture the fandom became a bit more sad as someone upset Cassandra Clare:
But the fandom pulled together to cheer her up:
And to say thank you she shared a snippet from the 9th novella in the Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy series – Born to Endless Night. You can read the snippet HERE

On the 6th October the world premiere of Love, Rosie will be held in London’s Leicester Square in the Odeon West End cinema.
Lily Collins (who portrayed Clary Fray in City of Bones movie) will be attending along with Sam Clafin, Jaime Winstone, Suki Waterhouse and director Christian Ditter.
Love, Rosiecentres on Rosie and her best friend Alex who take a leap of faith, both on life and on each…
The international dates for Lily Collins new project Love, Rosie have been revealed and I’m happy to say that the release date for the UK is earlier than first expected!
Lily stars opposite The Hunger Games’ Sam Claflin in a film adaptation of Cecelia Ahern’s 2004 novel Where Rainbows End.
Check out the international release dates in the below picture
Please note that all countries are not…
Today Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan were in London for the final event from the City of Heavenly Fire book tour in the UK.
I (Sarah) was lucky enough to attend and had a great time! It wasn’t as crazy as the 1st book signing I went to for Cassandra Clare’s which was last year in July for the City of Bones movie-tie-in release at St. James’s Church. That was the first signing I went to of Cassie’s and she was joined by Sarah Rees Brennan and Jamie Campbell Bower (Jace in the film). That was a much bigger event with a lot more people there.
So it was nice to attend a slightly more ‘intimate’ event. Don’t get me wrong, there were still loads of people there, but it was just a lot smaller than the last couple of signing I went to for her :)
I arrived around 8.30am and still hadn’t 100% finished the epilogue of The Mortal Instruments: City of Heavenly Fire so I was still reading it in the line until about 9.30am. I got there early enough to be one of the lucky ones that got to stand under the shelter and not get wet from the rain. I then realised that Desiree (I hope that’s spelt right!) from @TMI_Holland was sitting right behind me! So we chatted a bit before my other friend Jenny showed up and we were allowed into the cinema.
Everyone took their seats, I was on the second row in the middle. Was a pretty good seat but the cinema was weird and the seats in front were really high or our seats were a lot lower or something, so really it was just odd being on the second row but still not having a ‘perfect’ view. I went to buy the 1st book in Sarah’s Demon’s Lexicon series as all the books I have of Sarah’s are already signed! I already have The Demon’s Lexicon books on my kindle but needed something for Sarah to sign too so didn’t mind buying the actual copy.
At about 11:20am Cassie and Sarah took to the stage and everyone cheered and clapped.
They then read out some of the currently unpublished voice-mail messages left on Magnus’ phone in between City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire. They were hilarious! Izzy is being the best sister to Alec by pretty much harassing Magnus until he gets back with him. Simon’s one was one that really stuck out in my mind and you can read his one below which Cassie posted on her tumblr a few weeks ago:
“Hi, Magnus. It’s Simon. You know me. Well, you called me Soames last time we spoke, but we’ve hung out. I’m calling to, uh … to—sorry if this is out of line—suggest that you maybe take Alec back.
“I think it would be good for morale. Honestly, Alec was really horrible to Clary when they first met, and if he turns all cranky again, I don’t know what Clary’s going to do. In those days, Clary had way fewer weapons and way fewer brothers.
“This time it’s different. Her boyfriend is on fire. She’s got enough problems. I guess what I’m saying is that we’d all appreciate it if you took one for the team.
“Not that I’m part of a Shadowhunter team. Shadowhunters don’t let vampires join the team.
“This message probably seems selfish, and also crazy. I honestly do feel bad for Alec. He’s a good guy. Much less annoying than Jace. I’ve always felt like, given the opportunity, we could be friends. Maybe bros. Maybe we could be bros who shoot arrows together.
“It may at this point be obvious that Isabelle forced me to make this phone call.”
Cassie has planned that these will all be published at the end of The Bane Chronicles book once it’s published later in the year (November in the UK) so make sure you get a copy to read them all!
They then went into a Q and A between the audience and Cassie and Sarah. I didn’t write down all the questions but I tweeted a few answers. A few questions were SO SPOILERY!!! Like gave away a few things that happen in COHF so I am so glad that I had finished it before I went in!
A few things in the original script of #COAmovie are: Clary splits into two people & has a shovel fight. Magnus runs for mayor. & also >— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
> also Jace rides a mermaid. So sounds like it's a good idea that the production team are taking their time to re-write the script!— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
.@cassieclare was always planning on turning Jem into a silent brother. #COHFuktour #TMIparty— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
.@sarahreesbrenna wants @cassieclare to write about Silent Brother strippers.. :P #COHFuktour #TMIparty— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
.@cassieclare would bring Magnus to life to hang out with if she could. #COHFuktour #TMIparty— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
.@cassieclare has confirmed all same authors for Simon Lewis short stories will be the same authors as The Bane Chronicles.— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
The short stories from Simon will also somehow include story's of Will, Tessa, James, and also a story about a stag party that goes wrong— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
.@cassieclare has said that the Iron Sisters will be very important later. #COHFuktour #TMIparty— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
.@cassieclare & @sarahreesbrenna are re-telling the story of how they came up with the Herondales being scared of the ducks. #Tmiparty— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
.@cassieclare wanted Simon to be a vampire to show that the reason the Clave & Shadowhunters are so secretive because it's very dangerous— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
So Simon had to pay the price of the bringing a mundane into the Shadowhunter world. @cassieclare— (@TMI_TID_UK) June 07, 2014
.@cassieclare on micro-planning & blocking out scenes: "I always know where I'm going to start & where I am going to end up." #tmiparty— Walker Books (@WalkerBooksUK) June 07, 2014
After the Q and A they set up the room for the signing, I got City of Heavenly Fire, Clockwork Prince and The Demon’s Lexicon signed. I got to ask Cassie a quick question that my friend Alison asked me to ask her, she wanted me to find out if the Demon Pox always turns people into worms. Cassie laughed and said that sometime they turn into other demons, and sometimes just die a horrible death. She also added that not all demon’s had Demon Pox too.
And that was my day today. Massive thank you to Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, Walker Books and Waterstones for the great event. It was loads of fun and hope both Cassie and Sarah come back to London for more signings soon!!! :)

Recap from London's City of Heavenly Fire Talk with Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan Today Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan were in London for the final event from the City of Heavenly Fire book tour in the UK.
Today I was lucky enough to attend the #TMIparty in London to celebrate the launch of The Mortal Instruments: City of Heavenly Fire.
I arrived early and there were loads of fans dressed in black Shadowhunter gear already.
When I got to the theatre room there was already two huge queues to go get runes painted on & nail art.
I then noticed that two hot men dressed as Shadowhunters were on the stage too! YUM!
Paul from Walker Books was today’s MC, reading out tweets people had sent in with the hashtag #TMIparty. Some were really funny!
Once it got to 2.10pm (-ish) we got to see Cassandra Clare on screen reading an excerpt from City of Heavenly Fire. I actually had goosebumps & tears in my eyes.
We then re-watched The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones movie which was fun because everyone in the room are obviously big fans. So we got lots of big cheers, wolf whistles & boo’s when certain characters came on screen. Made me remember when I first watched the film with my parabatai, Eilidh, at the London press screening of the film. We were majorly fangirling during it but everyone else in the screening were press so we had to be quiet while fangirling.
After the film we were finally given our own copy of City of Heavenly Fire as well as the City of Bones journal and a City of Heavenly Fire postcard.
Just want to say a massive thank you to Walker Books for putting on the Launch Party. It was so much fun!
Check out a few of the pictures from the event below :)
