By now you’ll be bracing yourselves for the onslaught of young adult fiction adaptations jostling for the spot left open by the ‘Twilight’ franchise in 2012, and here are a couple of images to get you on side for Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, the first in a potential franchise focusing on an ordinary girl who discovers a secret underground world of Shadowhunters and demons.

The film will be directed by Harald Zwart (‘The Karate Kid’) and stars Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower, Lena Headey, Jared Harris, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Robert Sheehan, Jemima West, Kevin Zegers, Aidan Turner, CCH Pounder and Kevin Durand. It hits theaters on August 23rd.
