ALL THE CHAPTER TITLES FROM CITY OF FALLEN ANGELS!!!!!!!!!
(the paragraph below is Cassie talking)
---------------
Hi guys! So below is a list of the titles of the chapters in City of Fallen Angels. This is in the mold of the post I made about the chapter titles of City of Glass, back in September of '08, with little notes about the meanings of the titles, why I picked them, and sometimes, what they have to do with the story. This is instead of a Clockwork Angel excerpt for this month. Happy Birthday, Mundie Moms!
Chapter One: A Proposition
In which Simon, who has been trying hard to live as normal a life as he can, finds out that's not going to be possible any more.
Chapter Two: Fear of Falling
This is the chapter that will be included in the paperback copy of City of Glass, so I won't say much about it, except it's Clary's POV.
Chapter Three: Sevenfold
And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. Well, that whole Mark of Cain business wasn't just going to go away.
Chapter Four: The Art of Eight Limbs
This one contains a training sequence that involves Muay Thai, a martial art that's called "The Art of Eight Limbs" because it involves using hands, elbows, knees and feet as strike points. This is also the chapter that contains the quote from the Seelie Queen I Tweeted — the one about "he's bound to you, but does he love you?"
Chapter Five: Hell Calls Hell
This is Latin, from one of the Psalms, abyssus abyssum invocat. Also translated as "deep calls unto deep." In which Clary tries on a bridesmaid's dress.
Chapter Six: Wake The Dead
Pretty literal, actually.
Chapter Seven: Praetor Lupus
Those inclined toward Latin can have a whack at this one. This chapter has werewolves in it. :)
Chapter Eight: Walk in Darkness
"But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes." And in the meantime, Simon's band gets a gig.
Chapter Nine: From Fire Unto Fire
This is from Oscar Wilde: "Nay, let us walk from fire unto fire,
From passionate pain to deadlier delight,—
I am too young to live without desire."
I am sure everyone will be happy to know this chapter is mostly Clary and Jace.
Chapter Ten: 232 Riverside Drive
Quite literally the address of something important (I can't help but wonder if someone actually lives at this address — I have friends who live on Riverside Drive, though not this number...)
Chapter Eleven: Our Kind
In this case, "Our Kind" is vampires.
Chapter Twelve: Sanctuary
In which a character we know from Clockwork Angel makes a strange demand of the Nephilim.
Chapter Thirteen: Girl Found Dead
What it says on the tin!
Chapter Fourteen: What Dreams May Come*
“Max,” Jace said. “Max, I’m so sorry.”
Chapter Fifteen: Beati Bellicosi
The actual phrase in Latin is Beati Pacifici — blessed are the peacemakers. In this case, I altered it (hopefully accurately) to Blessed are the Warriors.
Chapter Sixteen: New York City Angels
Those who know the Thriving Ivory song Angels on the Moon will recognize this phrase.
Chapter Seventeen: Cain Rose Up
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. All of this stuff is from Genesis 4, the Cain and Abel story — it's thematically called up throughout the book since it's a story about family, murder, sin, forgiveness and blood.
Chapter Eighteen: Scars of Fire
This is actually from a Carl Sandburg poem:
"Wandering oversea singer,
Singing of ashes and blood,
Child of the scars of fire,
Make us one new dream, us who forget.
Out of the storm let us have one star."
Epilogue — As of now, the epilogue is just titled "epilogue." It's pretty short but, I think, packs a punch. I hope so!
*Everyone knows this one! But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come. Hamlet.
That Jace looks way too old! but the rest looks amazing
haha, I love the pic of Simon... He is rocking out!
i reckon alex pettyfer as a male model to repreent jace would be WAY betteerr :D
Mod
haha that's what i said too :)
Mod
I think the whole Mark of Cain thing will be interesting... I agree with y'all, Alex Pettyfer was born to play Jace!
=D

"There is something you have not told us, Clarissa Morgenstern," said the Silent Brother. "A secret you both have been keeping."
Clary tensed. “What do you mean?”
The mark of death is on this boy."
“Death?” said Jace. His voice was modulated, careful, not afraid. “Do you mean I’m going to die?”
We mean that you *were* dead. And yet you live. The balance of life and death is a delicate one, young Shadowhunters. You have upset it."

“But I thought that you were still in love with Clary,” Isabelle said.
~~~~~~~~
“He is bound to you,” said the Queen. “But does he love you?”
~~~~~~~~
Magnus still had his head in his hand."i just don't see," he said, "why the past has to matter."
~~~~~~~~

new excerpt:
“How many other people?” Alec asked. “Roughly.”
Magnus shook his head. “I can’t count and it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is how I feel about you.”
“More than two hundred?” Magnus looked blank. “Three hundred?”
“I can’t believe we’re just having this conversation now,” Magnus said, to no one in particular.
“Why so many?” Alec’s blue eyes were very bright in the dimness. It was hard to tell if he was angry — he didn’t sound angry, just very intense, but Alec was a shut-down person and perhaps this was as angry as he ever got. “Do you get bored with people fast?”
“I live forever,” Magnus said quietly. “But not everyone does.”
Mod
i hadn't seen this one
Mod
"'That’s not the point, Simon.' Maia had moved closer to Isabelle and the two of them faced him down together, an immovable wall of female rage."
here's the actual proof for the fact that Simon actually dates both Maia and Izzy. this really pisses me off, cause it's plain stupid on Simon's part.
Mod
People, I can't not show you this! This is the Bulgarian cover for City of Ashes and it's absolutely gorgeous! It's not the original but it gives it a run for its money. Can't wait to get my hands on it. I wonder what they'll do for CoG....
