Secrets and a killer in Edwardian London

Set among London’s Shadowhunters, Chain of Iron brings a serial-murder investigation into the tangled lives of Cordelia Carstairs, James Herondale, and Lucie. The search for the killer runs alongside three concealed truths: Lucie is trying to raise the dead, Cordelia has made a dangerous oath to a mysterious power, and James fears he may be connected to the murders. Engagement, loyalty, and the legendary sword Cortana add personal stakes to a mystery that unfolds across the city’s dangerous streets. As the second book in the Shadowhunters series begun with Chain of Gold, it continues the characters’ relationships and conflicts while centering a new threat.

Book overview

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.
