An Illustrated History of Notable Shadowhunters & Denizens of Downworld is a book told in the Victorian language of flowers, with artwork by Cassandra Jean and trivia by Cassandra Clare.
This illustrated companion book was first made available on TopatoCo, an online store that also distributes the series tarot cards, as A History of Notable Shadowhunters & Denizens of Downworld told in the Language of Flowers.[1] Its publication rights were later purchased by Simon & Schuster UK.[2] An updated Floriography book—including new art, updated trivia/information, and 20 additional characters—was released in late December 2024 as part of the Seasons of Shadowhunters.
