In Edwardian London, the Shadowhunters face a deadly challenge in this romantic sequel to a bestselling novel. Cordelia Carstairs appears to have it all: an engagement to James Herondale, a new life in London with her best friend Lucie and the Merry Thieves, and a reunion with her father. However, their marriage is a facade, meant to protect Cordelia's reputation, as James harbors feelings for Grace Blackthorn, whose brother Jesse died in a tragic accident. Cordelia struggles with the burning pain from the legendary sword Cortana and her father's bitterness. Meanwhile, a serial killer is targeting Shadowhunters, striking under the cover of darkness and disappearing without a trace. Cordelia, James, and Lucie, along with the Merry Thieves, must navigate the perilous streets of London to uncover the identity of the knife-wielding murderer. Each character harbors a shocking secret: Lucie intends to resurrect Jesse; Cordelia has pledged loyalty to a mysterious power; and James is increasingly entangled in the dark influence of his grandfather, the arch-demon Belial, leading him to question whether he might be the very killer they are hunting.
James and Cordelia must save London — and their marriage — in this thrilling and highly anticipated conclusion to the Last Hours series from the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare. Chain of Thorns is a Shadowhunters novel. Cordelia Carstairs has lost everything that matters to her. In only a few short weeks, she has seen her father murdered, her plans to become parabatai with her best friend, Lucie, destroyed, and her marriage to James Herondale crumble before her eyes. Even worse, she is now bound to an ancient demon, Lilith, stripping her of her power as a Shadowhunter. After fleeing to Paris with Matthew Fairchild, Cordelia hopes to forget her sorrows in the city’s glittering nightlife. But reality intrudes when shocking news comes from home: Tatiana Blackthorn has escaped the Adamant Citadel, and London is under new threat by the Prince of Hell, Belial. Cordelia returns to a London riven by chaos and dissent. The long-kept secret that Belial is James and Lucie’s grandfather has been revealed by an unexpected enemy, and the Herondales find themselves under suspicion of dealings with demons.
