Cassandra Clare introduces new ‘The Dark Artifices’ characters
For the past 2.5 years Cassandra Clare has shared lots of exciting information about the characters in her upcoming The Dark Artifices trilogy and today she has introduced her fans to two completely new characters.
Shadowhunters, meet Cameron Ashdown and Johnny Rook:
Can we expect any new artwork soon? — frenchfilmelephant 🙂
The problem is that Cassandra Jean has mostly been drawing secret or unknown characters from TDA (which has the largest cast of any book I’ve ever written, yikes.) I can’t post some of them, but here’s a few to wonder about.
Doesn’t Cameron look like a cutie and Johnny like a badass rock star?
Cassie later revealed
Some fans think that Cameron could be Emma’s ginger boyfriend who she is dating at the beginning of Lady Midnight.
Lady Midnight will be released in 2016 so there is a lot more characters to meet and look forward to before then! 🙂

I need more! :O
Another series to get hooked on and get crushed by with Cassie! xD
Johnny looks like a werewolf 🙂 I can’t wait to meet him! ❤ And yes, I am thinking Cameron might be Emma's boyfriend too. So much going. Makes the wait all that more anticipating! 🙂
Reblogged this on Tessa Gray's Books and commented:
Non scherziamo… 2015??????? a malapena riesco ad aspettare la prossima notizia come potete pretendere che io aspetti un anno intero.
Isn’t Lady Midnight supposed to be released Sept or Oct of this year? When did she change that? Its the next book of the Shadowhunter chronicles. She isn’t working TLH until after I thought. Or am I behind in my info? I thought the next Magisterium book was to come out like spring this year and then Ladye Midnight fall this year, or vice versa? I think the person who said Johnny was a werewolf could be right but he looks more like a warlock to me. I think Cameron probably is the boyfriend which makes me feel bad for him since she’s really in love with Julian. I wouldn’t mind healing his potentially broken heart though cause he’s adorable with those freckles!! 😉
Up to date, Magisterium: The Copper Goblet is out in Sept. of this year and Cassie posted on her website, cassandraclare.com that TDA is set for March 2016 and has answered questions on her tumblr in regards to it coming out next year…and I think she integrating TDA and TLH at the same time possibly? Like Lady Midnight will be out 2016 and then the first TLH will be out the following year or something? We will have to way and see 🙂

Wait…….. Didn’t Sophie from TDA take Ashdown as her Shadowhunter name when Ascended…??? Guys……. What is happening here…..?!
I just checked both the hard back version of clockwork princess and did a search in the kindle version. Ashdown is not mentioned at all. So no. When Sophie finished the ceremony Charlotte said to her “I name you Sophia Shadowhunter after Jonathan Shadowhunter.” Now whether that’s the actual name she took or just what they called her for becoming Nephilim I don’t know but she probably didnt take an actual name as she was going to marry Gideon lightwood anyway. Maybe cassandra clare answered this question and the name question as far as Sophie went later on after the book came out I don’t remember. But we know simon will be taking an unused name when he becomes a Shadowhunter in the Shadowhunter academy short stories.
Here it is: http://cassandraclare.tumblr.com/post/88604109214/shadowhunter-names-a-certain-new-shadowhunter
“You are Nephilim now,” she said. “I name you Sophia Ashdown, of the blood of Jonathan Shadowhunter.”
You’re right though. It wasn’t ever mentioned in CP2, but Cassie did say that the family tree was a “found” item and that it isn’t necessarily accurate.
He could be Fredrick Ashdown descendant. Otherside Sophie could choose Ashdown, because of Ashdown surname was died off. Sophie children carried the Lightwood name, so Ashdown died off again with Sophie. Maybe Cameron is a new Shadowhunter, who ascended with Simon and he picked the name Ashdown.
Who is Fredrick Ashdown? I think it is still a possibility that he could be somehow related to Sophie. Because Cassie herself said that the family tree isn’t fully correct.
He was one of the Shadowhunters that raided de Quincey’s house in Clockwork Angel.
There is no relation to Sophie. I asked Cassie and apparently the copyeditor changed Sophie’s Shadowhunter name to just ‘Shadowhunter’.
IM SO EXCITED FOR MORE SHADOWHUNTER CHRONICLES BTA
I’m calling it now Johnny Rook, warlock.
Im curious to learn about them! I suspect that Cameron Ashdown may have dated Emma Carstairs…
