Shadowhunters, you are cordially invited to Mister William Herondale and Miss Theresa Gray’s wedding! Cassandra Clare uploaded below’s graphic on her Instagram and I’m so happy that we got this graphic and a snippet! 😀

“Sophie stepped forward, holding out a shallow velvet box on which had been placed two rings, both with the Herondale design. Inside each ring had been etched a single image of lightning, a nod to Tessa’s Starkweather heritage, and six words: the last dream of my soul. Will didn’t care if the quote wouldn’t mean anything to other people. It meant everything to him and Tessa.” Just a reminder to pre-order Chain of Gold (out March 3 2020) if you’re reading in English — all first editions will contain the short story “Fairytale of London” about Will an Tessa’s wedding (and wedding night 💒) — once the first editions sell out, they’re gone! 💋ETA This is ALL FIRST EDITIONS OF THE BOOK, so it can literally be ordered at any bookstore online, or even any standard bookstore. There is no specific edition to look for. It just means pre ordering the book in English.

I cannot! ♥ Is the snippet not completely romantic? The inscription made me cry and I am so, so excited to read about Will and Tessa’s wedding (and wedding night 😉 )! If you feel the same, you can read another short snippet here while we all wait for Chain of Gold to be released on March 3, 2020!

Make sure to pre-order Chain of Gold on Amazon or Barnes & Noble or Book Depository (US hardcover/UK hardcover) to get your first edition with Fairytale of London inside! Right now we don’t know whether the bonus content will also be included in ebooks but we will let you know if there is any news. You can also tweet us questions (@TMI_Source) about the first edition or leave them in the comments below.

What do you think of the snippet and what are you most looking forward to in Chain of Gold?

OMG! OMG! Wessa’s wedding!!!!!!! I wonder where the rings are in the present… And about what I’m looking for in CoG, „everything“ is the word to describe my state of mind. I’ve never been deceived by Cassie and I’m sure it won’t start with Chain of Gold! I juste can’t wait!!
