Okay… we already know that Ms. Cassie Clare shared this bit of info some time ago:
The Dark Artifices: Okay, a quick recap. I have a plan for another Shadowhunter trilogy (contemporary, but not about the characters from TMI).
Working title: The Dark Artifices. It takes place five years after the end of TMI (ie in 2012) and deals with the Shadowhunters of the Los Angeles Institute. There is a tangential connection to the characters of TMI but they are not main characters. The main characters are teens (meaning that during the events of TMI they’d be 11, 12 years old.)
The main female protagonist’s name is Emma, the main male protagonist’s name is Julian. They are both Shadowhunters. They both have always known they are Shadowhunters.
There is love, magic, romantic confusion, etc. and so on.
I have a theory about the plot of TDA. I know it’s too soon to be discussing the sequel series but I’m just giddy with excitement when I figured out these bits and pieces just now! :)
What if… Emma and Julian are parabatai?
SPOILER ALERT! (If you haven’t read Clockwork Prince, this might be a bit spoilery…)
We know that parabatai aren’t allowed to love each other romantically, right? so this would entail a thrilling story about love and confusion… etc.
I mean, we’ve come across the “sibling/incestuous/forbidden-love thing” with the first 3 TMI books, the “Shadowhunter/Downworlder forbidden-love thing” in the last 3 TMI books (Simon and Isabelle, then there’s Maia!), and the “I’m-your-parabatai/bff/brother-and-I-love-your-fiance-love thing” with TID. So I’m guessing it may as well be fitting if TDA were about parabatai being in love with each other… right?
But… that’s just me! :) feel free to share your thoughts about this!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :)
thats actually a pretty good theory :O
FORBIDDEN LOVE FTW
i don’t know how i feel about this. maybe it’s because my will/jem shipping heart thinks this has already happened when...
