Om ni inte kan lista ut vem som är på omslaget, så skall det vara Annabelle. Precis som med Cassies övriga Shadowhunters böcker så är det Cliff Nielsen som har gjort även detta omslaget. Och i likhet med de två tidigare böckerna i serien The Dark Artifices så visar även detta en av karaktärerna under vatten.

 

Releasedatum för boken är 4 December 2018, och inte 12 april 2018, som jag i min iver nästan var på väg att skriva inatt, efter att ha sett videon från YALLFest, där det står datumet 12.04.18 bredvid bilden på omslaget. Amerikanarna har ju ett annat sätt att skriva datum mot vad vi har i Sverige. Så rätt datum är helt enkelt 4 December 2018.

 

I samband med releasen av omslaget så har Cassie även gett TMIsource ett exklusivt citat från boken.

 

He wanted to ask Ty if he was all right, but he knew the other boy wouldn’t want it. Ty was staring at the Market, tense with curiosity. Kit turned to the phouka.
“Gatekeeper,” he said. “We request entrance to the Shadow Market.”
Ty’s gaze snapped to attention. The phouka was tall, dark and thin, with bronze and gold strands threaded through his long hair. He wore purple trousers and no shoes. The lamppost he leaned against was between two stalls, neatly blocking the way into the Market.
“Kit Rook,” said the phouka. “What a compliment it is, to still be recognized for one who has left us to dwell among the angels.”
“He knows you,” muttered Ty.
“Everyone in the Shadow Market knows me,” said Kit, hoping Ty would be impressed.
The phouka stubbed out his cigarette. It released a sickly-sweet smell of charred herbs. “Password,” he said.
“I’m not saying that,” said Kit. “You think it’s funny to try to make people say that.”
“Say what? What’s the password?” Ty demanded.
The phouka grinned. “Wait here, Kit Rook,” he said, and melted back into the shadows of the Market.
“He’s going to get Hale,” said Kit, trying to hide the signs of his nerves.
“Can they see us?” Ty said. He was looking into the Shadow Market, where clusters of Downworlders, witches and other assorted members of the magical underworld moved among the clamor. “Out here?”
It was like standing outside a lighted room in the dark, Kit thought. And though Ty might not express it that way, Kit suspected he felt the same.
“If they can, they’d never show it,” he said.
