Unidentified Snippets

Here is the collection of unidentified snippets shared by Cassandra Clare.

They are called such because:

“You don’t know who says it, or what book it is from, or what series, or if it is from extra content, or a short story. That’s the fun of them,” Clare said.

Clare confirmed that some of the unidentified snippets have been from her upcoming series THE DARK ARTIFICES.

Snippet #1

She looked at the boy. He was pale as milk, his blue eyes startling against so much white skin and the darkness of his hair and eyelashes. He was long-legged, slender as a willow branch, but strong: a very pretty boy, even to her, who looked at human beings and saw mortality and rot.

Snippet #2

The body sank without a trace, and Sebastian forgot it before it had even sunk all the way. He saw the curled fingers, bobbing in the currents as if restored to life and begging for help or at least answers, and thought of his dream. His sister, and a sea of blood.

- CITY OF LOST SOULS, A Dark Transformation

Snippet #3

But the rest of Jace’s mind is watching the door slam behind her and seeing the final ruin of all his dreams. It was one thing to push it to this point. It is another to let go forever. Because he knows Clary, and if she goes now, she will not ever come back.

- CITY OF LOST SOULS, The Act of Falling

Snippet #4

To my son,

If you are reading this letter, then I am dead.

- CITY OF LOST SOULS, Stephen’s letter to Jace

Snippet #5

“In your eyes, I have always found grace.”

- CLOCKWORK PRINCESS

Snippet #6

He stopped dead. “Tessa told you?” he said.

Snippet #7

his parabatai rune was bleeding

- CLOCKWORK PRINCESS

Snippet #8

Marry me today.

Snippet #9

She slid the gold ring back onto her finger before heading into Jace’s bedroom.

- CITY OF LOST SOULS

Snippet #10

Will’s hand looked brown and sunburnt by contrast, their fingers dovetailed together like piano keys.

Snippet #11

He kissed each finger, and with each one of them spoken a word. Five kisses, five words. His last.

Snippet #12

“Did you …” He could barely bring himself to ask. “Did you like it?”

“Yeah.” Her voice was husky. “I liked it.”

- CITY OF LOST SOULS

Snippet #13

“In all my previous encounters with Will, he has worn pants.”

Snippet #14

“Do you think there’s a chance for him?”

“A chance for who?”

“Will. To be happy.”

“Is there a chance for you to be happy if he isn’t?”

- CLOCKWORK PRINCESS

Snippet #15

It was one of the things that had made her fall in love with him in the first place: realizing that this scarred, sarcastic boy was gentle with the things he loved.

- CITY OF LOST SOULS

Snippet #16

… laughing together at all the beautiful ruin around them. They were standing suspended in the sea: it couldn’t hurt them, destruction was their element. Clarissa was looking down as she laughed, trailing her moonlight hands in the water. When she lifted up her hands they were dark, dripping: he realized that the seas were all blood.

- CITY OF LOST SOULS, A Dark Transformation

Snippet #17

When you were an angel, what was your name?

- CLOCKWORK PRINCESS

Snippet #18

Jem leaned closer against the chair, staring into the fire. “Better it were my hands,” he said.

Will shook his head. Exhaustion was muting the edges of everything in the room, blurring the flocked wallpaper into a single mass of dark color. “No. Not your hands. You need your hands for the violin. What do I need mine for?”

- CLOCKWORK PRINCESS

Snippet #19

Not your parabatai any longer.

- CLOCKWORK PRINCESS

Snippet #20

“Wet again,” Will said, glumly.

- CLOCKWORK PRINCESS

Snippet #21

“You’re in my bones and my blood and my heart,” he said. “I’d have to tear myself open to let you go.”

Snippet #22

“You are the Lightwoods — you are all that is left of the Lightwoods.”

- CLOCKWORK PRINCESS

Snippet #23

“I don’t know why I ever helped you.”

“Because you like broken things.”

- CLOCKWORK PRINCESS

Snippet #24

“Oh, God, the lovebirds,” Magnus said, pulling the pillow off his face. “I hate happy couples.”

Snippet #25

Belatedly, she realized something else. “Do you … have anything?”

He didn’t seem to have recovered from her last comment. “But do you mean — wait, do I have what?”

She slitted her eyes at him. “Something important.”

“Like what? The phone number for the White House?” A moment later, under her withering glare, realization dawned. “Oh.” His was the expression of someone who has run out of gas in the middle of the desert, miles from help. “I … “

Snippet #26

What if I just love you? What if I love you but I never touch you or talk about it, what would happen then?

Snippet #27

“Take London, my love, and turn it all to blood,” she said. “My gift to you.”

Snippet #28

They said it was better to know your enemy, but how did it help to know that your enemy’s one weakness was your weakness, too?

      • well in the snippit #9 its clary slipping the gold ring on her finger before walking into jaces room. i wonder what the ring could be..? :D

      • Well it could be…. I don’t know,
        The morgenstern ring perhaps?
        Cassie said on her website Jace and Clary were not going to get married or have children.

      • I don’t think they get married cause of snippet number 6 I think Tessa told Jem about her love/affair with Will and Jem confronted Will about it and Will freaked out, that’s why, “He stopped dead. ‘Tessa told you?’ he said”

      • Down with Jem, you said that on her website, Cassandra Clare said that Jace and Clary are not going to get married or have children. I went to her website and searched it up for a good 3 hours and I couldn’t find a single sentence where it says they are not going to get married.

      • Down With Jem, I could not find anything about Jace and Clary never marrying on the website either. I spent many hours looking on all of her sites, and found nothing.

      • Brianna, that was from COLS! It was the fairy ring.

        Down With Jem, did we just become best friends?

      • Ria Jace Herondale, yeah that could be it cause so far Jem doesn’t know and Im wondering if he ever is going to find out. that will be a spectacle. but also in snippet 14 someone is asking, tessa i think, can she be happy if will isnt so maybe that could be jem but im also thinking it could be magnus bc in one of her teasers it said magnus was in the room when tessa was (for lack of a better word) accused of loving will

      • Down with Jem, Hate is such a big word. It’s more like you hate the fact that Tessa said yes rather than Jem asking Tessa to marry him.

      • it cant be the morgenstern ring because it is silver might be tessa and jem

      • I agree wiht Rosa what if its Tessa and Jem? What if they divorce later and it could be akward bewteen Tessa-Jem-Will like a three way thing. Tessa could have done someting too.

      • there’s nothing wrong with tessa and jem! how is it possible to hate either will or jem?! they’re both beautiful!

    • jace and clary dont get married in city if lost souls….. though clary does have a gold ring, but its not a wedding ring.

      • She actually crushes her rings when she is fighting with her brother, but Simon could have given her his from the set. But more than likely it was Tessa.

      • it’s the fairie ring the one she uses to communicate with Simon it’s not the Morganstern ring or a wedding ring. Sorry these people were bothering me and you were the only one about this subjuct to reply to.

    • Im sory to type this here but i just NEED an answer,

      Can anyone tell me which snippets have already been in one of Cassies book (all except CoHF and CPrincess?)

    • EBERYONE:
      The “Marry me today” is the first sentence in CLockwork Princess. Cassie said that the first word in Clockwork Princess is Marry. (The last word is Silence) I bet Jem said it to Tess

      • Actually its part of a poem before the first chapter :
        “Marry on Monday for health,
        Tuesday for wealth,
        Wednesday for the best day of all,
        Thursday for crosses,
        Friday for losses,
        Saturday for no luck at all.”
        ~ Folk rhyme

      • Ya your right. I still have not read Clockwork Princess but I will SOON. Question though, Does Jem die? If so, that’s so said:(

    • I think it’s Will and Tessa. I mean … maybe Will was the one who said ‘Marry me today’ and Jem said ‘You are in my bones my blood and my heart, I’d have to tear myself open to let you go.” MAYBE. What can I say? I’m a Wessa fan

    • Are they??? Awww, I would so love to believe! anyway, snippet 3 is from act of falling, from CoFA…it’s Jace’s POV of Alley Scene

    • umm, im pretty sure that was when *SPOILERS* Clary had the fairy ring and was hiding it from Jace. But they WILL get married :)

    • JACE DIES.
      Cause the one about kissing her fingers as he says his last words was thought to be Jem, but the Tessa wasn’t there when he died. SO IT’S JACE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This can’t be!
      *NB:And for the DA, it says Emma wants to be the best Shadowhunter “since Jace Lightwood” Noooo

      • It could be sebastian!
        Also that doesn’t mean Jace died, it just means that he is older now, and she is as good as he was at that age :)

      • Well…………..it could be another copul, Liek sizzy…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SIMON CANT DIE!!!ID RATHER IT BE JACE!!!!!!!!!!!

      • I’m pretty sure that was in Clockwork Princess wasn’t it? When Will and Tessa are at Cadair Idris. I don’t think it means someone is going to die.

      • Or it could be alec kissing magnus or visa versa. Or it could be simon kissing isabelle. Or jordan kissing maia, it could really be anyone that dies. I dont think cassie would kill Jace, thats too harsh

  2. The description in snippet 1 seems to match with either Alec or Will. And as for the girl whose PoV it is I think it’s Camille since she’s immortal and all.

    I’m really affraid about the seventh because we know that when a rune is cut, its power can be destroyed. Can two parabatai be separated that way?? If so is it about Jace/Alec or Will/Jem??? I hate no knowing this is torture!!!!

    • Oh my god you’re right! *Screams loudly*
      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Parabaitai, SEPERATING?! How is this possible?! This isn’t right! I may hate Jem but I love Will and if he was seperated from Jem he would be devastiated! As for Alec and Jace, don’t even go there! They are the best parabaitai EVER! They cannot be seperated!

      • NO THIS CANNOT HAPPEN!!!!!! oh my god oh my god… no. no. no. i dont very much like jem, just like you said, BUT I ADORE WILL AND THAT BOY DOES NOT NEED MORE MISERY IN HIS LIFE!!!!!

      • Maybe the Clave would make an exception if it was by a Sebastian(Jace\Alec) or by Mortmain.(Jem./WIll) I kinda DOubt it though.

      • Could it be about Luke and Valentine? Or another parabatai pair? I mean there were snippets from an extra part from the past in CoLS in Sebastian’s POV it’s not out of the realm of possibility it could be another pair from the past. Still devastating though e.e

      • It’s Will’s Parabaitai rune because in CP Jem becomes a Silent Brother (Zachariah).

    • i think it might be alec and jace sebastian might have done it so alec cant sense him ???

      • Nope, you’re not alone in that. I love Jem (^-^) but I love Will too. Gosh, I sound like Tessa XD. You’ll be happy to know that it all eventually works out even though I hated the torture in CP

    • Actually I think its the seelie queen describing Alec. For will is not pale as Alec is… And we know the seelie queen has such little regard for mortals.

    • What if it’s a TDA one? Cassie said some of these snippets are from TDA, so what if Julian or Emma did that so they can love each other and it will be legal.

      • maybe since Cassie said someone is going to die in CoHF it could be either Jace’s or Alec’s parabatai rune bleeding because either Jace died or Alec died

      • no, hes bleeding cause the silent brothers had to cut ties with will,so they r no longer parabatai.

    • OMG YES!! OMG thats not fair noooooooooooooo will/jem or alec/jace cant not be parabatai, that would be terrible!! but im thinking its more will/jem since alec and jaces parabatai relationship wasnt one of the main parts of the story like jem and will are built around their whole relationship and jems possible death in the future and the fact that they both love tessa although jem doesnt know. it could be jems as hes getting sicker, or wills because jem is getting sicker. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  4. The Parabatai rune or a permanent rune would have to be burned off with acid to destroy it.
    In order to be Parabatai you have to go through a ceremony, so I don’t know if the rune being destroyed would matter..

    Jem and Tessa are engaged, but we ” Will ” see..:)

  6. number 11 !! his last words?? is it jem??!!! and snippet 6…i think jem knows that will loves tessa :D the last one looks funny xD omg i am so excited and scared!!!

    • Snippet 6 is from Clockwork Prince when Jem thinks that Will knows of his and Tessa’s make-out session!

      • OH RIGHT!!!!!! im feeling very relieved like EXTREMELY but also kind of disappointed like im really afraid that when/if jem finds out abt will/tessa that it will be a really heartbreaking scene omg if that happens we’ll all be like crying in the corner aha lol

  8. *runs around screaming* I need to know where these came from!!!! I LOVE #13 lol. I REALLY hope Jace and Clary get married!

  9. If Jem dies I will scream Jem cannot die I love him and if Jace and Clary got married oh my god that would be amazing

  11. i will freaking – i dont even KNOW what i will do if jem dies. he can’t. you hear me cassie? YOU CAN’T FREAKING KILL HIM OKAY?! YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO US! forget US, YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO WILL!!! oh my god. i am, literally, freaking, out, right now.

    • jem isnt my favorite, like i ship will/tessa but i really dont want jem to die either hes always the balance of the group and keeps everyone in check and it just wont be the same without jem :( ((

  12. i think, that if my “sources” are right, tessa will end up with will, but strangely get children when they’re older… because somewhere on this site someone said that tessa “returns” in city of glass, and clary then thinks she looks familiar. that made me think that someone she knows looks like tessa, like a descendant, and since she never met a carstairs, but does know a herondale….

    • of course i would love for them to end up together, but how would they have kids? then again, she’s not a pure warlock so maybe there’s something there….
      so you’re saying clary sees someone who looks like her in city of glass? when she’s walking in alicante?

    • OMW! you are so right!! i did notice Tessa in CoG but i never even considered the Herondale connection!

    • but cassie is making a new book the dark artifacts or something? but! the main character is emma carstairs which makes it harder to figure out who she ends up with but i want tessa to end up with WILL !!!!!!!!!!

    • Tessa could be the female warlock that helped Magnus with Clary’s ceremony that gives a shadow hunter child protection because remember Clary asked I think it was her mum and she told her that Magnus and a female warlock preformed it instead of the iron sisters and the silent brothers.

    • know, because in COG when Clary sees a “familiar” face, it could be Tessa… because, Warlocks are immortal, and so far that’s what everyone is convinced Tessa is… so it could just be Tessa, although, i would really like tessa and will to end up together. nothing against Jem but Will is so sad…. Hard Life! :) lol

      • i think she’s mixed because in city of fallen angels lilith asks simon to heal sebastian and somewhere in the book it says he has the same abilities as her to heal and walk in daylight

    • like we dont know if what jessamine said was true if tessa really is part demon part shadowhunter, like idk if the angel blood would allow her to have a child, maybe a warlock child, but idkkkkkk AHH

  14. I HATE YOU DOWN WITH JEM, i hope you die before he does!!!!!! I hope Jem won’t die…….

    • calm down sweetie… there’s always going to be rivalry between jem supporters and will supporters, but we dont need to get so intense… no one wants jem to die – not even those of us who love will, because jem dying would KILL him. it’s in all our interests to see him through alive. god, i really really really hope he doesn’t die…..

      • YES to everything u just said… will lives mainly off of jem and if jem dies then will wont live either like in the sense and we’ll lose both of them AND tessa we just need them to not die not die

  15. Of course But Will may die without Tessa, so we sort of want Jem to die but sort of want him to live. :)

  16. i suppose…. obviously everything would just be resolved if jem would just fall in love with cecily…. but then he wouldn’t leave tessa, he’s too much of a gentleman… but if some way could be found around that…. :D :D :D

    • Valentina: but cecy might end up with gabriel, like we dont know but maybe THAT’s how the lightwoods got the blue eyes bc gabriel and gideon have green eyes and herondales had blue so maybe thats how alec gets the blue ones. idkk.

      and yeah ur right jem wouldnt leave tessa even if he loved cecy, but idk it just seems like it would be kinda awk cause will practically is his brother so him being with will’s sister? kind of weird i think but idk whatever

    • oh god that would be so awful and dramatic and terrible… but why would will run off? and it would be terribly scandalous if he were to marry tessa right after (not to be a jessamine but it’s true)

      • He would run off because he would be so devastated by losing Jem. And he would marry Tessa because it would be what Jem wanted, for Tessa to be happy………..
        Also for personal matters
        …..Do you rekon Clare is stalking Me ’cause my name is Jace and I have a twin called Nate and my best friend is called Will and we look alike??? :)

      • hmm, i suppose, but i wonder how the others would react to that.. ooooh charlotte would probably have had her baby by then!!! :) :) :)
        haha that’s weird, but so cool! :D

    • Yeah…only he said he wouldn’t take advantage of Jem’s death…darn it!
      And does anyone know WHY we’re waiting so long for Heavenly Fire??

      • you can”t really write an entire book that quickly unless it’s horrible and Cassie is an incredible writer so it makes since BUT trust me I’m right there with I want to read it sooooo badly!!!!!!!

    • i can so imagine jem and tessa getting married and will going off somewhere not to watch and some big attack happens that prevents them from completing the ceremony

  18. I may kind of like Jem, but I love Will soo much more! I hop Jem will die (that sounds sadistic, I know) or that he will fall in love with someone else (perhaps Cecily…) so that Tessa will realize she loves Will more anyway!! TEAM WILL all the way!! :D :D:D

    • Yeah, but idk id think jem should die, but i really really want tessa to end up with will bc i think it would hurt a lot more for will and not jem if one of them didnt have her. i mean herondales only love once right? there at least, small yes, but jem could be with someone else i guess

  19. Jace stop blabing Will and I can see what your saying!! from: Nate
    P.s Hey Jace you know Seb and I are coming over later! from: Will

    • Lily Swan brings something else up………….. WHO THE HECK IS MAGNUS DAD. What is his the powerful demon or something??

      • I think that magnus’s mom is tessa and his dad is a shadowhunter(Will or Jem maybe?), cause remember the witchlight incident at the end of CoLS? Only one with shadowhunter blood can use a witchlight… thats why magnus is special, he’s the only second generation warlock

      • Okay so my theory is that Lucifer is Magnus’ father because he was once an angel and thats why he can touch the witchlight (and probably also why it turns red as in like hell’s fire maybe?). As far as Tessa being Magnus’ mother, it’s basically impossible unless she’s hundreds years older then she appears to be. In TMI Magnus is eight hundred years old and this series is only roughly 140 years before TMI.

    • How can Tessa be Magnus mom?? When tey met he was already a grown up, an inmortal grown up! Magnus father is Lucifer, the most powerful demons of all.

    • Magnus was already alive when Tessa and him met so I don’t think so I guess it’s possible but highly unlikey

    • yeah id think thats the case lol magnus was alive even before tessa so no off but there is most likely no way of that happening but u really dk with cassie or what she decides to write in there

  22. No we’re saying that Tessa and Will are destined to be marryed and are wondering whether Will will become an Angle and live with her forever……..
    My arguments with my Twin and Friend have nothing to do with it……..:)

    • You have a twin that reads the books too? Me too! And I don’t think that Will can become an angel, or end up with Tessa. It’s always a possibility though

    • what if one of them becomes a silent brother? cause in COFA brother zachariah says he has past ties with the herondales…… hmmmmmmmmmmm

  33. OMG the 19th!!
    It’s gotta be related to 7th. Someone will destroy a parabatai rune and two parabatai will be separated. The only question is which ones????

    • If that’s the case then #7 #10 and #19 are probably related because to destroy a permanent runes u have to use acid or something destructive right?

  34. i think something happens to jace that makes him and alec lose the conection ( i can’t spell) and i thing sebastian has something to do with it. # 19

  37. I just want to know about the Will vs Duck thing!!!! And OMFG why would she do this to us! I want to know what happens soooooooo bad!

  39. AHHHH I KNOWWW so excited omg. and helen, i think you’re right. it would make sense given the whole sebastian/jace/evil brothers incident.

  40. OMG MY HEART. MY EMOTIONS. *SCREAMS* JEM CANNOT DIE OR SUFFER, WILL CANNOT DIE OR SUFFER, OR ELSE MY HEART WILL SHATTER INTO TEENY TINY PIECES AND I’LL DROP DEAD.

    THIS IS SO EFFIN PAINFUL. Will’s moved me more (he’s the only character of Cassandra’s that I have cried over numerous times) and I am more drawn to him but at the same time I hope Tessa stays with Jem because it’s FREAKIN JEM and I will no longer believe in dreams and miracles if he dies from heartbreak.

    MY LOVE FOR THESE TWO BOYS CAUSES ME SO MUCH PAIN ON A DAILY BASIS.

    • Wholeheartedly agree w/ everything u just said girl…. i have cried so many times over your books, cassie! just hurry up and wright some more!! ;)

  41. WOW!!! so much to ponder and take in all at once! We can sit here all day and try and write wt we “want” to happen and don’t “want” to happen, but on the 8th we get just a little closer to the truth…:)

  42. you guys have read the first chapter right? what do you think of aline’s girlfriend? and unless im much mistaken isnt jules going to be one of the characters in the next series cassie writes?

      • lol yeah we know that, but you never know it could be jace and clary.. or tessa and will, who knows what will happen there! i thought you had actual information about it

      • in some of the comments I saw that Cassie said that they (Clary and Jace) won’t get married.

      • Didn’t she say that Clary and Jace just don’t get married in CoLS? Cuz if they didn’t get married EVER, i might end up hating these books O_o

      • Oh my god this is annoying me so much! all this stuff about “cassie said clary and jace won’t get married” is wrong! She specifically said that she wouldn’t WRITE about them getting married because thats something that will happen in their more adult life and she is writing about them as teenagers! But the implication that they will obviously get married at some point in the future is OBVIOUSLY there.

    • sry girl. it can’t be. Magnus is still pissed at Alec for talking to Camilla and trying to see if he could make Magnus mortal. i mean… i would be pretty pissed off too. but i wish they would get back together. it was good for both of them! :)

  45. So I was trying to figure out who is trying to break their parabataI rune/brotherhood and I’ve come up with a few speculations. #1. SEBASTIAN BECOMES APART OF JACE AND DESTROYS THE RUNE SO THAT ALEC CAN’T TRACK HIM.
    #2. JEM FINDS OUT ABOUT WILLS FEELINGS FOR TESSA AND CONFRONTS HIM WILL FEELING LIKE THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE ISSUE IS TO RUN AWAY AND THUS DECIDES TO BREAK HIS BOND WITH HIS PARABATAI.
    #3. GABREIL AND GIDDEON WERE PARABATAI THIS IS THE ONE I MUST ADMIT I FAVOR. I THINK THAT’S WHY GIDDEON SO EXPECTED GABREIL TO COME WITH HIM WHEN HE LEFT THEIR FATHER. OTHERWISE WHY WOULD IT BE SUCH A BIG SHOCKER THAT GABRIEL SIDED WITH HIS FATHER. AREN’T PARABATAI SUPPOSE TO ALWAYS SIDE WITH EACH OTHER AND GO WHERE THE OTHER GOES?

  46. The snippet 22 “you are theLightwoods I thin it benedict talking to Gabriel telling him he the only lightwood left since giddeons betrayl.

    Oh and maybe the people geting married is Sophie and Giddeon. Baha or maybe its Izzy and simon!

  48. i’m still ruing for Magnus and Alec! Although I would like to see kyle/maia or /simon/izzy or maybe even tessa/will ( She says hopefully; not that I don’t LOVE Jem but… Herondale Boys for life!!!)

  49. “In all my past encounters with Will, he has worn pants.”
    WHAT THE FREAK???????????
    “Not my parabatai any longer.”
    WHO????

    • “in all my past encounters with will he has worn pants”
      i think that has got to be the best snippet ever! :)

      Ever.:)

  50. I think Izzy or Alec die. And that would explain the “You are the Lightwoods — you are all that is left of the Lightwoods.” on, and I think the parabatai rune bleeding and the parabatai no longer ones go together, and i think that those ones are about Jace and Alec, because in a teaser from CoLS Jace says he never thought they would be fighting on opposite sides of the battle…and I want teaser 1 to be about Alec…for some strange twisted reason I can’t even conceive (it will make for good fanfiction)

  52. okay…why is everyone ganging up on Jem? he is nothing but a beautiful person who is always kind and gentle. Sure, i ship Will and Tess but that doesn’t mean i don’t absolitely adoreeeee Jem…i mean guys, it’s not always one’s good and one’s bad. They are both beautiful characters with ups and downs, so back off..

    • WORD. im a hardcore will/tessa shipper but i’d be heartbroken if anything happened to jem, i love him!

    • dont get so worked up and dont forget jem cant die think about his blood line(dark artifacts) emma carstaris has to come from someone and i dont think that jem has sibbilings so i think its jem who lives and has a child!
      in other words jem cant die at all he is needed to make it complete….

  55. Ok so I just finished city of lost souls and I’m thinking brother zachariah maybe jem. Here’s why. When maryse lighwood is thinking abou the silent brothers she says she’s not sure how long they live giving the idea that they could live for hundreds of years. Also he’s asked if he ever cared for anybody before he became a silent brother and he said he did care for two people (will & tessa?) before in his previous life. Also he’s adamant about making sure the hernadale name live on. This is not the life id want for sweet Jem but it kinda makes sense does anyone agree?

    • well, actually, i was thinking more will, given his interest in jace and his knowledge of the herondale line, and how he says that magnus knows a lot about him. but i’d rather it be jem honestly..

      • Well… It might not be will nor jem because it says in CoFA that
        He was having a flashback about London….
        “he saw a boy with black hair and blue eyes like Alec. A girl with long brown curls and a serious face. In a world where everything went away eventually, she was one of the few remaining constants”
        Notice it says SHE not They….. So will probably isn’t him but I feel like Cassie will throw a curve ball on the last pages of both last books that makes you just blankly stare at the pages….. I want will with Tessa but I don’t think it’s him but there are aFEW remaining constants so… Who are these few??

      • Never mind it could be him brother Zachariah has dark hair… Ahh!! What if it’s will? It seems like a combination of jem and will! Ugh ugh ughhh

    • It cant be Jem because Maryes asked if he had any kids he said no,but if you look at the dark artifices one of the main is Emma Carstairs. Jem Carstairs=Emma Carstairs
      And it cant be Will because he had children.

  56. I’m super excited. I’m a big Jem fan, especially since the sexy bedroom scene, and I hope he and Tessa get married and she doesn’t mess it up and go for Will. Go Jem <3

  58. Well it would still make sense if its Jem, will is his bestfriend so that would explain why he would care sol much about the Hernodale blood line and legacy. I mean think about it if the only thing left of your bestfriend (parabatai) in the world is his blood relatives wouldn’t you do all you can to keep it safe! Especially if these are the decendants of both will and tessa. But I didn’t realise he had black hair, however if jem was cured of the demon drug maybe his natural black hair resurfaced? Idk but I’m excited and a little bit terrified to find out.

  59. jem cant die because of the dark artifact series with emma carstairs
    will has to have a child for jace to exist
    the fairchilds have to continue to so what about that? charolet is now a brainwell so who will make more fairchilds
    gabriel or Gideon one of them is brother zachariah
    i think gabriel is going to get with cecily or not mabey jem gets with cecily?O_o
    also dont forget that marcey got cheated on by someone mabey a herondale? idk if that would work?
    and i think valentine mabey decended from mortiman?
    Brother Zachariah said he only loved two people and he never had a child
    well Gideon never had a child and he only loves sophie and gabriel he hates his father…
    i also think that tessa and magness bane preformed the thing for clary because who knows magness that well? who trusts magnes? tessa! and i think that was her in CoFA with magnes and clary said she looked fimilar
    since she looked fimilar its either she has good memory or tessa is just so backwards and wierd that she is able to have a child just like how she bares no worlock marks…

    this is my theroy and it makes sence to me except for the affair part… O_o

    • Actually, Jem can still die he just has to get a girl pregnant first. Second, to keep the line going it must be a boy. Personally, I think Will is brother Zachariah, just because he is interested in Jace, but you may be right. I never thought about Gabriel or Gideon. Gabriel has to get with Cecily because (spoiler) in COLS Magnus tells Alec how much he looks like Will and Cecily has the same dark hair and blue eyes but to become a Lightwood she has to marry either Gideon or Gabriel but Gideon is with Sophie. I think Valentine is decended from Motmain too, the resemblance is really stunning. And maybe, I dunno, if Brother Zachariah said he had never had a child, maybe he did and the kid turned evil so he didn’t refer to him as his child…..? I don’t know, i’m just throwing out ideas.

  61. Now that CoLS is out I figure a lot of these are from CoHF! Can’t wait to see all the loose ends pull together.

  62. Mrs. Carstairs Herondale Wayland Lightwood Bane Morgenster ( I have that one soft spot for Sebastian..) · · Reply →

    I read snippet 11,panicked, cried, curled up into a fetal position…. and slowly began rotting and mentally broke down…. ._.

  63. snippet 4 is Jem!!!!! If I’m right than he isn’t bro Zach so thta must mean Will lives! (please, let that be right. please…..please……please….)

  64. Sniipet 3, 6, 22, and ESPECIALLY 19, 21, 8, 11, 10 WHAT DO THESE MEAN?!?!?!?!?!? This is going to kill me. Fun for who, Clare? FUN. FOR. WHO!?!?!??!

  67. some copies of CoLS came with a bonus letter from stephen herondale to jace, that is where snippet #4 is from. he’s addressing the letter to jace

  68. In snippet #9 *spoiler* it’s not Clary wearing a wedding ring OR the Morgenstern ring. She’s wearing the faerie communication ring that her and Simon both have. It says so in CoLS

  69. God, I can’t wait for the Dark Artifices to come out. I need to read about more Shadowhunters. Emma and Julian, I can’t wait.

  70. Soooo Will and Jem probably do get seperated because in one of the books in the mortal instruments (i forget which one maybe city of lost souls) magnus says that he has seen parabatai so close that they were almost the same person. then he said something like “do you know what happens to one when they get seperated from the other?” Sommeeethhing like that. so will and jem either get seperated or jem dies

  71. guess either jem or will is going to die in CP2 cuz cassie said there’ll be alot of crying!!! and IDK but cassie gave us some proofs that jace may die in COHF cuz when she described emma carstairs as the fiercest and most skilled shadowhunter SINCE jace wayland!! Shit i don’t want jace to die!!

  72. A few a these are from CoLS. like #9,12,15. So i dont think Jace and Clary get married. (Though i want them to very much!!!) And i think that #6 Jem finds out that Will loves Tessa. But just from watching him not from anyone telling him. and then hopefully he gives Tessa to Will and possibly becomes a silent brother. That’s my theroy.

  73. Why do you all hate Jem so much? Its not his faut hes in love… Jem and Will love Tessa, maybe its better Jem gets what he wants instead of Will for once!
    I mean i like Will too, but Jem deserves to be happy too.
    Willd gourgous, he’ll find someone (:

    • Y IN THE WORLD DID U SAY THAT!!!!!!!!!!! WE ALL KNOW THAT JEM DESERVES HAPPINESS BUT ITS NOT LIKE WILL DESERVES ANY LESS, IF ANYTING, WILL DESERVES MORE HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE HAD MAKE PEOPLE HATE HIM! HE HAD TO BE RUDE TO PEOPLE, HE LEFT HIS FAMILY AND HE HAD TO MAKE THEM HATE HIM TO KEEP THEM SAFE, IF U THINK THAT JEM DESERVES MORE HAPPINESS THEN WILL THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT U HAVE BEEN READING. i have nothing aginst Jem its just that i love Wll and know that he should get all the happiness in the UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  75. People are saying many things. One is that both Will and Jem have to live because of Jace being a Herondale and of Emma from TDI being a Carstairs. But the fact is, as much as I like Will, he could die and the Herondale line would still keep going. Guys, HE HAS A SISTER!!! And I’m not just talking about the blood line. Sure, when two people marry, NORMALLY the woman gives up her family name for the man’s. But there are cases where either the woman doesn’t give it up and the child’s last name is hyphenated, or the man takes the woman’s name. I’m not saying in other cultures. I’m pretty sure this scenario happens in many countries! And based on what we’ve seen about Cecily from snippets, she’s a pretty stubborn girl and she has loads of family pride! She could very well keep her last name and ask the man if he would take it.

    Also, I think if Jem dies, then there will be one of four possible situations in the book:
    1) Will goes with Tessa. I doubt this because then it would seem like He was glad Jem died.
    2) Will becomes a Silent Brother. I doubt this. You’ll see why later.
    3) Will comforts Tessa, but they slowly drift apart. I think that that is quite likely.
    4) Will comforts Tessa and they become good friends but nothing more. As much as I like the idea of Till, this and 3 are the most likely out of the four.

    I think Jem will become brother Zachariah. Then the snippet with the rune bleeding makes more sense. Jem would probably have to cut off his connection with Will in order to become a silent brother. But hey, I could be totally, completely, and utterly wrong! And, then again, snippet #11 probably proves that theory wrong! Unless it’s connected to #22, in which case it could be Alec dying and the gesture is completely in sibling-love and not anything more.

    Snippet #21 sounds like something that Jace would say to Clary, in complete honesty. And I thing 9 and 3 are connected, if 3 is real. I have suspicions about it being official. I mean, like snippet #3… why is it in present tense? TMI is written in past tense. Interesting…

    The thing about “When you were an angel, what was your name?” I think this may be Tessa since no one really knows what she is. But I still think that it could be the whole demon/shadowhunter mix thing. It might also be Jace speaking to Clary or Clary speaking to Jace, though I doubt it because they both have extra angel blood in them, but they don’t have THAT much. It may also be another character altogether. If snippet #4 is a real one, then I think that may be Mr. Gray writing a letter to his son, Nate. But if it’s a snippet, then Tessa must find it and so she’s reading whatever Nate was supposed to know. Maybe it says that Tessa is really an angel?

    Please don’t think that I think that this is the way I hope it should be and that I would place money on it being. Just about any author is unpredictable when it comes to these kinds of things! What they leak is usually never what it seems! Without a bit more, it’s hard to tell! I’m very open minded to other suggestions, so please feel free to contradict what I’ve said. Just no cussing, please! And if you are going to contradict me, try to make the contradiction critical and backed up with support.

  79. I really really really hope that snippet 24 is about Simon and Isabelle pretty please that would be great
    They are the most best couple and if anything bad happend to them in Heavenly Fire I will not be happy

  80. Snippet #18…
    Ok, as the daughter of a violinist and a violist, I do not like this talk of losing hands. Not one little bit.
    It makes me want to hide under the covers and NOT READ CLOCKWORK PRINCESS BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IT WILL TEAR OUT MY HEART AND SOUL.
    But I will have to read it when the time comes of course…*muffled sob*
    Oh, and Cassie, please, you’ve already broken the heart of my baby Will far beyond repair. AT LEAST leave my other baby, Jem, with his heart intact.
    *sigh*. This series is nothing but pain, pain, pain.

  81. You know, the ring Clary slips on her finger is NOT a wedding ring. All that have read CoLS know this, I hope. If not, go back and look for it!

  84. I have read all of these a million times and it just gets me more excited for everything to come! the anticipation of the movie was already killing me, and now the upcomming books are not helping me at all! Cant wait to see whats next in store for our favorite shadowhunters

  85. I would laugh so much is it ended like twilight and Jem imprints on charlotte and Henry’s baby!
    looool
    btw that was a joke.
    But it would mean that will and tessa would get together xxxxx LOVE YOU WILL

  91. You guys I’d just like to throw it out there that she has said before that Emma carstairs and jem are NOT related. So technically jem could die</3 I love jem so much I think im going to just die when he does. Also I'm pretty sure that jem AND will are going to die, because in other cp2 snippets there's one about someone dying and it sounds like something will would say.
    Tessa is a slut

  92. Oh gosh. I’m not going to get mad at you for saying that, but only because a million other fans will. She is not a slut. Whoever said that you can’t fall in love twice because if you loved the first person, you wouldnt have fallen for the second is right. But very wrong. She was abandoned by someone she loved, he hurt her and she tried to move on, thinking there was nothing left for them, then, she discovered, there was, but it was to late by then. Kayla, your really asking for it when you say that on this site, but it is your opinion, so it will be respected. And understood.

  95. omg some of these are going to make me cry and die and if theres a life after that i will die crying overandover again untill its for sure that it has to be true but when the dark artifies, city of heavenly fire and clockwork princess come out many secrets will be uncoverd and some will be happy and other will be dreadful!!!! just tell those who are sad that i warned you!!!! and if cassie does something terrible to jace will or jem you people and many other can go tell cassie to go die in a hole!!!!!!! including me mwwhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!just lets tell her to die when she says its official that there are going to be no more books!!!!!

  96. Am I the only one that is literally heartbroken by spoiler #3 like I’m literally crying in the middle of the night like a complete weirdo. Cassie please don’t do this to me.

  97. A lot of great (and very biased, yes, Down With Jem, I’m looking at you) comments have been written. No one knows what will happen or which comments are from which books, but here are some things we should consider as DIEHARD FANS!

    #3: Obviously Jace and CLary had a fight here. But Jace could just be thinking about what would happen if he let her go.
    #6: A lot of people think this is hinting to the Will and Tessa <3, but it could be about Will's curse, or Jem's worsening condition.
    #7 Who knows?
    #8: Som1s getting married:) but it could mean anyone: Jace and Clary (about time) Magnus and Alec (:D) or Jem and Tessa (triumphant YAAY!)
    #11: Maybe Jem is becoming a S.B and they can't have relationships or Will realizes he's hurting JemandTessas relationship by being around and he leaves
    #13 Such a magus Quote!
    #14 Will could be leaving, or maybe it's Charolotte being teary eyed at the wedding
    #19: this could be the middle of a sentence like: "Jem you should become a S.B. and then you'd live" "But then I would not be your parabatai anymore and I don't want that."
    #24 HOPE! (For some1)

  99. Cecily does NOT marry Jem. She is the IRON SISTER from city of lost souls! If you don’t believe me read that section and tell me if it isn’t very suspicious…. It so sounds like her especially with the whole parabatai thing

  102. i think in snippet 11 when it says they were someones last words i think its will or jem and although its thier last words, its not because they die but because they become a silent brother(cuz they dont talk). that might also explain why they cant be parabatai because silent brothers cant have parabatai, maybe?

  105. Snippet 23, I think might be Magnus to someone. I think that someone is Will, because it totally seems like something Will would say.

    Snippet 13, God, I just hope with all my heart that Jem is saying that to Tessa. So many thoughts go through my head when I read that. I hope Jem walks in on Tessa and Will “doing the dirty thing”, or maybe Charlotte, or maybe Sophie, or Henry, hopefully Jem though.

  106. Are you serious?The gold ring is a fairy ring cause Jace and Clary are not getting married.(Shame though)and the Morgenstern ring is silver.Duh!

  107. Here are a couple ideas that could happen in Clockwork Princess:

    i think Tessa will marry Jem and she will (might/if she can) have kids w him or Jem marries someone else and have kids. we know Emma Carstair is an anchestory of Jem (and we know he has no brother or sisters) so he will have to live long enough to have children, to keep the Carstair name alive. I think Will will die saving Tessa or Jem, he has a sister so the Herondale name will live on. I think there will be a cure for Jem(well I’m hoping)

    Tessa will probably live forever like Magus, since she has an appearnce in CoG. So I’m thinking Jem (or whoever she marries IF she even marries) will have to die eventually. IF Tessa cant have children (like the books says so far) than Jem can not marry her, his name has to live on some how. Will could marry her and they have no children.

    tessa might be a hybrid (warlock/shadowhunter) so maybe she can have kids

    Since jocelyn fairchild is a decent of Charlotte Branwell (Fairchild family) i dont think Tessa is related to Clary but i think there is a connection.

    • Have you noticed, in prologue, that we go back to Adele Starkweather? Maybe Tessa’s mother was connected to Starkweathers… it could explain why Aloysius looked at Tessa so strangely. And Cecily can’t make name Herondale to live on; do you remember that wives take surnames from husbands? :( will that 19 of march ever come????? I’m dying!!

  109. and ppl keep talking about Jem becoming a silent brother. well Jem told Tessa that wasnt an option so he could not be a brother. maybe Will tho.

  110. Pingback: Cassandra Clare shares new unidentified snippet | TMI Source·

  112. i think snippet 26 is from
    1.CP2. Will is telling tessa that he loves her but he wont mention it (seeing as jem and tessa are engaged).
    Or
    2. TDA. Emma confesses that she loves Julian but because they are parabatai, they can’t be together
    j

    • OMGOMGOMG I’m freaking out…..It better not be the first….WILL AND TESSA 4EVR
      But (I’m sane again) I think it’s probably the second….

  113. parabatai snippets scared me.. ether it’s Jem and Will (I guess Tessa and Jem are engaged, Will gets mad and “Not your parabatai any longer”) or it could be Jace and Alec.. I read somewhere that Alec (or even Jace) might die in last book.. I’M SOOOOOOOOO SCARED!!! my heart is racing right now!

  114. Oh no!! Please Cassandra Clare don’t kill one of the guys!! Ahhh!! I might go insane!!!! The more I read all the theories, the more crazy I go. 19 March so close yet sooooooooooo far.

  115. Ok….this is not from the snippets. Just curious into everyone elses thoughts on this. I’m sure Jem marries Tessa and dies. But due to all these events cause Will to decide to escape his grief in a very dramatic way. Am I the only one to suspet that Brother Zachariah is actually Will? He was a shadowhunter and has a personal interest in the Herondales? Thoughts…..

    • You’re not alone in suspicion, Lesley…. It makes sense, cause Will loves only Tessa and Jem…. love to believe that! I almost don’t want to read Clockwork Princess!! I’m sure it will break hearts of some fans! *quietly crying*

  116. Pingback: Cassandra Clare shares new unidentified snippet: ‘Better to know your enemy’ | TMI Source·

  117. Hey, I think that newest snippnet is from City of Heavenly Fire… Jonathan(Sebastian) and Jace really do have something in common: they have same soft spot, Clary…. *screaming out of frustration* When will that bloody 2014. come??????????

  118. snippet# 6 has left me tearing my hair apart. what if tessa told jem that will has feelings for her but then again it might not be about that or even will the one speaking at all. this is FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!

  119. In her new series thats coming outit say that shefalls in luv wither parabaiti and tnats forbidden so it could mean that

  120. I know as a certainty that snippets 5-8, 10, 14,17-20,23 are all from CP2 there may be a couple more from CP2 but I word have to read it again to be certain…..CP2 such a great book…

  121. I’m not going to beat around the bush here so snippet 11. It wasn’t in clockwork princess like I had prayed like a madwoman that it would be and it would be that simple. “His last.” So I’m assuming that means death and I’m also assuming the worst and thinking it’s Jace. (I swear on the Angel I do not think my soul can handle her killing Jace again) BUT it could be from TDA (but doubt it) It could also be Luke, Simon, Alec, or Magnus… Hell it could even be Sebastian (though I am 99% sure it’s not, I mean this is Cassie and these Unidentified snippets are supposed to be a trick with the truth mixed in)

  123. Now I am seriously wondering about #13 I thought for sure it would be in Princess, as with all the others that mentioned Will. Maybe its from the Bane chronicles??Heavenly Fire????

  124. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Jace cant die maybe hes still alive?! Maybe its simon whos killed….. Oh no Jace is gonna dieee nooo <3333333333333333 jace <33

  125. But sebastian doesnt love so why would he kiss someone’s fingers? It could be Luke, maybe with Jocelyn or Simon or IDK

    • The reason it says CoLS is because it was an extra scene included in the back of CoLS. The first 2 snippets are also just extras but were included in different versions of the first edition of CoLS.

  128. Spoiler alert….but I can’t stand all u guys coming to conclusions that are so very wrong. First of all Clary and Have don’t get married. She’s slipping on his families ring. Secondly it is Will kissing Tessas fingers before he dies of old age after they’ve been married for years and have kids n grandkids. Jem is Brother Zachariah and Tessa makes her debut in City of Heavenly fire with Jem. You guys are saying all the wrong things and its making me crazy. When they asked the angel what his name was it was Tessa asking because it was his soul trapped in her clockwork angel. She shape shifts into him to save everyone and is consumed by heavens fire. Which is why she’s essential in the city of heavenly fire to help Have cause those two are the only ones that have ever been consumed with Heavens fire. The angels name was Ithuriel which is coincidently the same angel Valentine had locked away and tortured and used his blood for Jace n Clary. That’s all I can think of now.

  129. Do any of u read the books at all???? How could u all assume so many wrong things. I can recite all these books. Including TID. U guys need to get it together and re read the series to figure out what you’ve missed n then read clockwork princess. The thing with Cassie Clare is she writes the story the way she wants. Nit just the way the fans want her too. There’s twists n turns everywhere. And Tessa was never in City of Glass. You would realize that if u read clkwrk princess. Come on ppl. Get ur shit together n stop just assuming things. Its very annoying. I get very protective over my characters. And Cassie did say that there would be deaths in City of heavenly fire. My predictions are this…..Sensation/Jonathan definately. Magnus or Alec because of how the last book ended. Simon possibly because of the new vampire baby on the loose. Some of the pack. I think its gonna b a brutal war and I think Raziel will involve himself this time since Lilith got involved and since Tessa has a very close bond with the angels and Clary freed Ithuriel…not to mention she and Have have his blood running in their veins. Tessa n Jem will step in especially since he’s not a silent brother anymore. But I think Tessa n Cklary will save the day. Especially since Have is Tessas great great great grandson and he’s got heavens fire in his veins the same way she did. They’re the only two that’s ever happened to. I just wish the next book would hurry up and come out. I’m dying here.

    • OK have you even read Clockwork Princess??????The line “he kissed each finger, and with each one of them spoken a word. Five kisses, five words. His last.” is not in Clockwork Princess, and Will isn’t ‘he’ (at least not that we know of). Jem is still Brother Zachariah in City of Heavenly Fire because the epilogue of Clockwork Princess takes place in 2008 after the events of CoFH. If you don’t beleive that it takes place after Heavenly Fire, in the epilogue of CP2 Tessa doesn’t know that Jem is Jem again, not Brother Zachariah. And Tessa is the girl in white that Magnus is talking to in the epilogue of City of Glass. Cassandra has confirmed this. Maybe you should reread the epilogues, as that is where most of your mistakes lie. And by the way your spelling is horrendous. I’m guessing Have is supposed to be Jace. Please get your facts straight :)

  131. “What if I just love you? What if I love you but I never touch you or talk about it, what would happen then?”

    I think this one is from TDA between Julian and Emma because they’re parabatai but they they have feelings for each other… I’m so excited for this series gahhhh I can’t wait for it to come out already😁😁😁😁

    • How do you even know about that book? Is a chapter out? LET ME KNOW! I think I might need to go into rehab, I have an addiction to Cassandra Clare books!

  132. I’m so scared that one of my favorite characters is going to get killed off in City of Heavenly Fire. It’s ripping me apart!

  133. I think that the the ending of cohf will be jem narrating to tessa all the events since he said in the epilogue that there was another story among the herondales, lightwooods and fairchilds

  134. Pingback: Cassandra Clare sahres first ‘Lady Midnight’ snippet | TMI Source·

  135. Considering the object of discussion (which I feel most ppl should be able to guess from the context clues) Snippet 25 couldn’t be TID or TLH. So I’m inclined to think it’s from TDA or TMI, but TMI seems more likely (considering the topic of discussion). Snippet 26, I’m guessing is from TDA, because TDA is about Emma being in love with her parabatia, Julian, and it seems to fit the theme. Snippet 27 sounds (to me) like Camille talking.
    My favorite of these Snippets is 24, however. <3 Magnus.

  139. I read every comment, every snippet. And I’m freaking out, because If I don’t get a hold of those books any time soon… My guts will explode.
