Publisher's Summary

Number one New York Times best seller

The Shadowhunters must catch a killer in Edwardian London in this dangerous and romantic sequel to the number one New York Times best-selling novel Chain of Gold, from New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cassandra Clare. Chain of Iron is a Shadowhunters novel.

Cordelia Carstairs seems to have everything she ever wanted. She’s engaged to marry James Herondale, the boy she has loved since childhood. She has a new life in London with her best friend, Lucie Herondale, and James’ charming companions, the Merry Thieves. She is about to be reunited with her beloved father. And she bears the sword Cortana, a legendary hero’s blade.

But the truth is far grimmer. James and Cordelia’s marriage is a lie, arranged to save Cordelia’s reputation. James is in love with the mysterious Grace Blackthorn whose brother, Jesse, died years ago in a terrible accident. Cortana burns Cordelia’s hand when she touches it, while her father has grown bitter and angry. And a serial murderer is targeting the Shadowhunters of London, killing under cover of darkness, then vanishing without a trace.

Together with the Merry Thieves, Cordelia, James, and Lucie must follow the trail of the knife-wielding killer through the city’s most dangerous streets. All the while, each is keeping a shocking secret: Lucie, that she plans to raise Jesse from the dead; Cordelia, that she has sworn a dangerous oath of loyalty to a mysterious power; and James, that he is being drawn further each night into the dark web of his grandfather, the arch-demon Belial. And that he himself may be the killer they seek.

I never write reviews, but…

Finty Williams is an A1 narrator. While the story wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, I will definitely be listening to this one again - specifically for Finty. I could listen to her read anything, anytime.

Love iT!

Love, Love, Love Cassandra Claire! Definitely read Ghosts of the Shadow Market before starting this series (and her other shadow hunter series). I found it really helped to pull the story together.

did not disappoint!

I was waiting for this book to come out the second I finished the first. I love the narrator's accents and voices and as usual Cassandra Clare's book kept you wondering right until the end!

Better than the first

I definitely enjoyed this volume better than the first. My continuing complaint is that there are ridiculous number of secondary characters. I can’t keep track of them.

There’s more to say but would require a discussion. Overall, if you liked the first, you’ll like this one as well.
