Cassandra Clare shares ‘Clockwork Princess’ snippet in honor of Will’s YA Crush Tourney match

Cassandra Clare shared a snippet from Clockwork Princess in honor of Will’s match against Vincent from Die For Me in the first round of YA Sisterhood’s YA Crush Tourney.

Tessa leaned forward and caught at his hand, pressing it between her own. The touch was like white fire through his veins: he could not feel her skin, only the cloth of the gloves, and yet it did not matter. How you have kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into fire. He had wondered once why love was always phrased in terms of burning: the conflagration in his own veins, now, gave the answer. “You are good, Will,” she said. “There is no one better placed than I am to be able to say with perfect confidence how good you really are.”

Cassandra Clare promised that every time one of her YA Crush-worthy guys goes up in a round in the YA Crush Tourney she will share some kind of snippet from a future book or deleted scene about said guy.

This is how it’s gonna work: every time one of the TMI/ID boys goes up for a round, I’m going to give you a snippet from a future book or a deleted scene about them. Doesn’t matter if they win or lose, I’ll just give you the snippet up front. You vote if you feel like it, hopefully ‘cause you love them, but don’t feel obligated.

As a proud co-advocate for Will in the Tourney, I urge you to keep voting Team Will!
