Cassandra Clare spent much of her childhood travelling the world with her family. She lived in Iran, France, England and Switzerland before she was 10 years old. As a child she found familiarity in books and went everywhere with a book under her arm. City of Bones was her first novel and started the internationally bestselling series TheMortal Instruments, which continues with the long-awaited City of Fallen Angels (April 2011). Her new prequel series, The Infernal Devices, is set in Victorian England and began with Clockwork Angel (August 2010).
