Michael Trevino to narrate ‘Saving Raphael Santiago’
Cassandra Clare announced that actor Michael Trevino (The Vampire Diaries) will narrate the sixth installment of The Bane Chronicles — Saving Raphael Santiago.
Here is what Cassie said:
I went looking for pictures of Michael Trevino (Tyler Lockwood on Vampire Diaries) and most of them were shirtless (not that I judge, I do not) but a shirtless picture didn’t seem the best way to say that Michael is narrating the audio of Saving Raphael Santiago, the next of the Bane Chronicles! It was much fun to cowrite a novella about a character as enigmatic as Raphael, and we add Michael to our ever-growing list of HOT GUYS NARRATING THE BANE CHRONICLES! Though Sarah and I are both in France, we are forward to seeing behind the scenes pics from the recording and getting an earful of Michael’s fantastic narration when the audio goes on sale next week along with The Rise of the Hotel Dumort read by Stephen Lunsford (Teen Wolf). I’m told both actors did a great job in the studio! Can’t wait!
Raphael, Magnus saw with an ever-growing sense of unease, was looking at that blazingly bright hole in the ceiling.
“They’re all dead,” Raphael repeated, slowly. “And I am dead, too.”
Saving Raphael Santiago will be released on September 17.

He’ll make a great Raphael in City ot Ashes too.
😦 yeah…
I think if they decide to portray the vampire leader close to the book Trevino looks much too old for the 16-year-old Raphael, and that’s the trick with this character, the contrast of him – he is supposed to look like a normal teenage boy next door, but be timelessly cunning and sophisticated.
But if they decide to further age up the movie series which I wouldn’t mind and portray him as old as 22-25 year old, clever and menacing, he may be one of he best choices for the part.
He plays a teenage boy in TVD, but yeah, if they make him a little older it will be better.
Awesome that Michael Trevino is going to narrate. Nice little snippet of Magnus and Raphael.
WHOA WHOA WHOA ANYBODY REMEMBER THE NEW CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE QUOTE..
“They’re dead. They’re all dead.” MAGNUS SAID THAT AND RAPHAEL WAS TALKING TO MAGNUS IN THAT QUOTE ABOVE COULD IT BE A FLASHBACK
