LORD OF SHADOWS COVER / COVER REVEAL #LordofShadows #TDA


During Friday's Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy launch in NYC, Cassandra Clare and Alberto Rosende, revealed the cover for LORD OF SHADOWS. This cover is stunning! I can not wait to see this cover on the actual book. It is amazing to see in person. 

Below I've shared the video from the live cover reveal, and I've also included a brief description about the cover, which Cassie shared here on Tumblr:

TALES FROM THE SHADOWHUNTER ACADEMY Launch Event - RECAP #TFSANYC #shadowhunters


Happy Shadowhunter Sunday! I just got back from amazing trip to NYC. I had a wonderful time being able to attend the launch of Tales from The Shadowhunter Academy and helping out at the event. It was not only wonderful to see Cassie, Alberto, and a few great friends, I also loved seeing so many amazing fans, from all over. It was so wonderful to meet you all. 



The event was a blast! Cassie talked about her newest release, Simon, and Lord of Shadows. We all loved hearing Alberto talk about Simon. I think it's safe to say that he gets Simon as much as Cassie does. He's also a huge fan of the book series, and he said he and Kat have both read the entire series, except the new release. He's planning on reading it when he re-reads the TMI series.

Through out the event I was live tweeting, and posting videos. You can see all the tweets, pictures and videos via #TFSANYC, and I also included some of the pictures and the videos below. 


Not only did we love hearing Cassie and Alberto talk about Simon, the books, and TV show, we loved hearing more about Lord of Shadows.

THE COVER REVEAL 


This cover is stunning! 



The Q&A portion was just as great. Fans came with some amazing questions for Cassie and Simon. I LOVE Alberto's answer about diversity. 

I love what Alberto said here about diversity:


 After the Q&A, we had the privilege of teaming up with Simon & Schuster to do some trivia, which included handing out some exclusive prizes, like a Shadowhunters sweatshirt, taro card sets, the limited edition post from Y'allFest, tote bags and more. 


A few of my favorite pictures from the event:


Heading out to the event. It was so great to meet up all together and head to the event together. I loved catching up with everyone. 


This is one of my favorite pictures. I have to say, Alberto is very much like Simon. It was so great to meet him, and visit with him. The last time I had the chance to talk to him, was when I did a phone interview with him. You can read my interview w/ him here. 


I loved getting to spend time with these two fabulous people. 
Cassandra Clare, and Alberto Rosende, and myself. 

This picture makes me laugh, because Alberto makes impromptu picture taking look natural, and so does Cassie, but I have no idea what I'm doing. 


I loved getting to see a few friends at the signing!


This cover reveal was one of the highlights of the night! The Lord of Shadows cover is AMAZING! *This is NOT a copy of the book, just the cover of the book.

THANK YOU to Simon & Schuster, Cassandra Clare, Alberto and everyone who made the launch such an incredible night! 


You can't go to NYC without a quick trip to Central Park. It is stunning in the fall. Here's a few pictures from our quick trip around town yesterday, before I headed home. 

I love that Central Park has a statue for both Hans Christian Andersen, and Alice in Wonderland. I couldn't leave without taking a picture of both of them. 

Of course Simon had to come to Central Park with us. He's looking fierce too. 

When you have a friend who lives in NYC, and she indulges the tourists, and gets them back by taking a picture of them taking pictures. LOL The city looks amazing all decked out for Christmas.
