The Chronicles of Castellane is Cassandra Clare’s adult fantasy series, set in the fictional city of Castellane. Sword Catcher (2023) launched the series, with The Ragpicker King (2025) and The Bone Conjurers continuing the story. The Mediterranean-inspired setting and political intrigue mark a departure from Clare’s YA Shadowhunter fiction.
The series follows multiple characters through layers of Castellane’s society, from the royal court to the criminal underworld to the marginalized Ashkar community. Clare’s experience building complex fictional worlds in the Shadowhunter books translates well to this adult setting.
