October Teaser for Clockwork Prince, for those who missed it when it was posted earlier on Tumblr (where I've moved most of my blogging) .Kindly illustrated for me by Charlotte Mattey, who said she could do it overnight, and did. :D

The voices were quite clearly those of the Lightwood brothers. Tessa recognized Gideon’s lower, rougher tones as he said, “There will be a moment of reckoning, Gabriel. You can depend upon it. What will matter is where we stand when it comes.”

Gabriel replied, his voice tense, “We will stand with Father, of course. Where else?”

“You don’t know everything about him, Gabriel. You don’t know all that he has done.”

There was a silence through which Tessa could almost hear Gabriel sulking. At last he said, “If you despise Father so much, why did you ever come back from Spain?”

Gideon replied, sounding exasperated, “I came back for you —"

Sophie and Tessa had been leaning against the door, ears pressed to the wood; at that moment, the door gave way, and swung open. Both straightened hastily, Tessa hoping that no evidence of their eavesdropping appeared on their faces.

Gabriel and Gideon were standing in a patch of light at the centre of the room, facing off against each other. Tessa noticed something she had not noticed before: Gabriel, despite being the younger brother, was lankily taller than Gideon by some inches. Gideon was more muscular, broader through the shoulders. He swept a hand through his sandy hair, nodding curtly to the girls as they appeared in the doorway. “Good day, Miss Collins, Miss Gray.”

The Infernal Device:Clockwork Prince

Hola!

les dejo una reseña de Clockwork Prince para hacer más cortas las esperas ...

En el mágico mundo subterráneo del Londres victoriano, Tessa Gray ha encontrado seguridad en los Cazadores de Sombras. Pero resulta que la seguridad es fugaz sobre todo cuando las fuerzas de la Clave reemplazarán a su protector, Charlotte, como cabeza del Instituto. Si Charlotte pierde su posición, Tessa quedará en la calle y será presa fácil para el misterioso Magister , que quiere utilizar los poderes de Tessa para sus propios fines oscuros.

Con la ayuda del hermoso, auto-destructivo Will y el ferozmente dedicado Jem, Tessa descubre que la guerra del Magister con los Cazadores de Sombras es profundamente personal. Se les culpa por la tragedia de hace mucho tiempo que destrozó su vida. Para desentrañar los secretos del pasado, el trío se vera envuelto en niebla de Yorkshire viajando a una casa de campo que tiene horrores indecibles, de los barrios bajos de Londres a un salón de baile encantado donde Tessa descubre que la verdad de su parentesco es más siniestro de lo que había imaginado. Cuando se encuentran con un demonio de relojería que lleva una advertencia para Will, se dan cuenta de que el propio Magister sabe cada uno de sus movimientos una y una de los suyos los ha traicionado.

Tessa se da cuenta que su corazón se acerca cada vez más a Jem, aunque su anhelo de Will, a pesar de su mal humor, continúa inquietándola. Pero algo está cambiando en él, el muro que ha construido a su alrededor se está desmoronando. Podría el Magister liberar a Will de sus secretos y dar a Tessa las respuestas acerca de quién es y para lo que ella había nacido?

La peligrosa búsqueda de el Magister y la verdad lleva a los amigos a ponerse en peligro, Tessa se ​​entera de que cuando el amor y la mentira se mezcla, se puede corromper, incluso el corazón más puro.

Clockwork Prince : Extracto (ingles)

Cassie en su Journal publico en marzo este extracto de Clockwork Prince, se los dejo en ingles por mientras...

The darkness came and went in waves that grew ever slower. Tessa was beginning to feel lighter, less like an awful weight was pressing her down. She wondered how much time had passed. It was night in the infirmary, and she could see Will a few beds away from her, a curled figure under the blankets, dark head pillowed on his arm. Brother Enoch had given him a tisane to drink once the [redacted] was cut out of his skin, and he had fallen asleep almost instantly, thank God. The sight of him in that much pain had been more harrowing than she could have imagined.
She was in a clean white nightgown now; someone must have cut away her blood-stiffened clothes and washed her hair before bandaging her — it lay softly over his shoulders, no longer twisted into rat-tails of tangles and drying blood.
‘Tessa,” came a whispered voice. “Tess?”
Only Will calls me that. She opened her eyes, but it was Jem seated on the side of her bed, looking down at her. The moonlight spilling through the high ceilings turned him almost transparent, an ethereal angel, all silver but for the gold chain at his throat.
He smiled. “You’re awake.”
“I’ve been awake here and there.” She coughed. “Enough to know I’m all right besides a crack on the head. A lot of fuss about nothing —” Tessa’s eyes dropped, and she saw that Jem was carrying something in his hands: a thick mug of some liquid that sent up a fragrant steam. “What’s that?”
“One of Brother Enoch’s tisanes,” said Jem. “It will help you sleep.”
“All I’ve been doing is sleeping!”
“And very amusing it is to watch,” said Jem. “Did you know you twitch your nose when you sleep, like a rabbit?”
“I do not,” she said, with a whispered laugh.
“You do,” he said. “Fortunately, I like rabbits.” He handed her the cup. “Drink just a little,” He said. “It is right for you to sleep. Brother Enoch says to think of the wounds and shocks to your spirit as you would think of wounds and shocks to your body. You must rest the injured part of yourself before you begin to heal.”
Tessa was dubious, but she took a sip of the tisane anyway, and then another. It had a pleasant taste, like cinnamon. Barely had she swallowed the second mouthful when a feeling of exhaustion swept over her. She lay back against the pillows, listening to his soft voice telling her a story about a beautiful young woman whose husband had died building the Great Wall of China, and who had cried so much over his loss that she had turned into a silvery fish and swum away across a river. As Tessa drifted off into dreams, she felt his gentle hands take the cup from her and set it down on the bedside table. She wanted to thank him, but she was already asleep.

Clockwork Prince : Lista de Capitulos (ingles)

Cassie ha publicado los nombres y una pequeña reseña de cada capitulo... se los dejo aquí en ingles...

So below is a list of the titles of the chapters in Clockwork Prince. This is in the mold of the post I made about the chapter titles of CoFA, back in February 2010. The chapters, the titles of them, the source of the title if it’s from a poem, and even a few lines and spoilers. Since I’m away most of June, this will be the June Clockwork Prince teaser!

Prologue: The Outcast Dead

Will visits the Cross Bones Graveyard in London.

Chapter One: The Council Chamber

Pretty literal — the Council meets to discuss whether Charlotte is fit to run the Institute; we see a bit more of the Lightwoods, not to mention the Waylands and some other familiar families.

Chapter Two: Reparations

“Mr. Bane has been awaiting your arrival, sir,” said the footman, and stepped aside to let Will enter.

Chapter Three: Unjustifiable Death

The term, under the Accords, for a Shadowhunter killing a Downworlder without provocation.

“This was the first time she had been alone with Will in weeks.”

Chapter Four: A Journey

Tessa, Will and Jem leave the Institute and in fact, London entirely.

“Gabriel Lightwood strode across the room to meet them. He really was quite tall, Tessa thought, craning her neck to look up at him. As a tall girl herself, she didn’t often find herself bending her head back to look up at men.”

Chapter Five: Shades of the Past

This one is a pun that will probably only make sense upon actual reading. Althpugh one of the themes of the book is how the past affects the present.

Chapter Six: In Silence Sealed

Again the theme is hidden secrets. The title comes from a Charlotte Bronte poem. “In secret kept, in silence sealed.” Tessa begins to uncover the secrets of her own origins.

Chapter Seven: I had to redact the title of this chapter. It’s a spoiler.

“When Will truly wants something,” said Jem, quietly, “when he feels something — he can break your heart.”

Chapter Eight: The Purposes of Wrath

The title here comes from Thomas de Quncey’s (yes de Quincey!) Confessions of an English Opium-Eater. The paragraph is about addiction, and both the pleasures and the pains of opium, and the chapter is not dissimilar. Also, we meet Ragnor Fell.

Chapter Nine: Fierce Midnight

This chapter ends the night begun in the previous chapter. And has some pretty hot kissing. Titled after a Swinburne poem.

Chapter Ten: The Virtue of Angels

The virtue of angels is that they cannot deteriorate; their flaw is that they cannot improve. Man’s flaw is that he can deteriorate; and his virtue is that he can improve. —The Talmud

Someone rather unexpected hits Gabriel — who, really, was asking for it.

Chapter Eleven: Wild Unrest

This chapter title comes from the poem “City of Dreadful Night” by James Thompson. It’s really about taking on the suffering of someone you love. Will wanders about London at night. “He had reached Fleet Street. Temple Bar was visible through the mist in the distance” — Temple Bar is the structure Jem is standing in front of, on the cover of the book.

Chapter Twelve: The Ball

This is somewhat self-explanatory. There is a masquerade ball. And a balcony. And Magnus.

Chapter Thirteen: The Mortal Sword

We finally see the Mortal Sword put to its actual use: extracting the truth from reluctant Shadowhunters. And it is not pretty.

Chapter Fourteen: The Silent City

“Ah,” said a voice from the doorway, “having your annual ‘everyone thinks Will is a lunatic’ meeting, are you?”

Chapter Fifteen: Thousands More

From a poem by Charlotte Mew: There are thousands more; you do not miss a rose.

“Will has always been the brighter burning star, the one to catch attention — but Jem is a steady flame, unwavering and honest. He could make you happy.”

Chapter Sixteen: Mortal Rage

In which there are automatons and vengeance and explosions. The title comes from Shakespeare: “And brass eternal slave to mortal rage.”

Chapter Seventeen: In Dreams

There is the famous “in dreams begin responsibilities” but this title is actually from a poem by Matthew Arnold.

Chapter Eighteen: Until I Die

This chapter title has really freaked people out. So I will be nice and say that it is from a poem by Christopher Brennan (no relation to Sarah Rees):

Then seek not, sweet, the “If” and “Why”
I love you now until I die.

Chapter Nineteen: If Treason Doth Prosper

Betrayals and misunderstandings come thick and fast. And Magnus may have a new boyfriend. The title is from a poem attributed to Sir John Harrington:

“Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason?
Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason.”

Chapter Twenty: The Last Dream

This is the chapter that made me cry! I rarely cry so I felt good about that. The chapter title comes from A Tale of Two Cities.

Chapter Twenty-One: Coals of Fire

I guess if you’re paying a lot of attention you’ll recognize this as part of something Jace quotes in City of Fallen Angels. Endings, beginnings, new characters, and, I promise, not too bad of a cliffhanger.

Tessa: "Jem" gritó otra vez, y cuando él no levantó la vista, ella caminó por la habitación, y tiró fuerte de su mano. "Jem,detente!"

Y por último: "Moriría por ti, tú lo sabes." (no se sabe a quien corresponde)

Clockwork Prince : Extracto =)

hola!
gracias a Pau me entere de la existencia de este pequeño extracto de el segundo libro de la saga Infernal Devices!!

aqui se los dejo :)

Will miró a Jem. Tenía los ojos más azules que el Azul, y sus mejillas enrojecidas. Él dijo: “Entonces has perdido tu tiempo.”

Jem le devolvió la mirada. “Maldita Sea” dijo, golpeando a Will en la cara, enviándolo a girar. No perdió el equilibrio, pero se golpeó contra el lateral del carruaje en su mejilla. Su boca estaba sangrando. Él miró a Jem con asombro total.

“Entra al carruaje” Jem le dijo a Tessa. Dio media vuelta y regresó hacia la puerta roja. —A pagar por lo que sea que Will había tomado, pensó Tessa. Will se fue sin dejar de mirar detrás de él.

“¿James?” dijo.
