About this ebook

A #1 New York Times Bestseller!

The Shadowhunters must catch a killer in Edwardian London in this dangerous and romantic sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Chain of Gold, from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling 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 always loved; she has a new life in London with her best friend Lucie; and she bears the sword Cortana, a legendary hero’s blade.

But the truth is far grimmer. Cordelia’s marriage is a lie, arranged to save her reputation, while James remains in love with the Grace Blackthorn. Cortana burns her when she touches it. And a serial murderer is targeting the Shadowhunters of London, killing under cover of darkness, then vanishing without a trace.

Now Cordelia, James, and Lucie must follow the trail of the killer through the city’s most dangerous streets. All the while, each is keeping a shocking secret: Lucie, that she is attempting to raise the dead; Cordelia, that she has sworn a dangerous oath of loyalty to a mysterious power; and James, that he himself may be the killer they seek.

Ratings and reviews

I pre-ordered my book but when I go to read it wont let has anyone else had that issue I already paid for the book the help center told me to cancel the order and try to re buy it but I have to wait till the money comes back to re buy it

I love this entire series! This book was very good and had me wrapped into my own movie in my head. The only think I didn't like was that some characters were never allowed to have their moment. Always a sudden knock at the door or interruption. Toward the end it got my quite worked. I believe the words "Good lord.. Will Grace ever screw off?" actually came out of my mouth speaking specifically to the book. I am eager to read the next book because I jist need to see James and Cordelia finally find their love for each other fully requited.

ok the basic plot is nice.... but honestly I'm a bit disappointed with this book..... I expected a little more from the characters which I didn't actually get.... but overall it's nice
