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

Ahhh! This book was such a plot twister and I was definitely in tears a couple times but also had so much to laugh about and to want to punch someone after you've read the heartbreaking news. It was such a twist when grace reveals the truth about jamie's bracelet!! In this book james is still trying to fight off his desire for cordelia and she trys to focus on the main fight and trying to help james thru their fake marriage. Meanwhile lucie and Jesse fall for each other. Their relationship is so cute and very sad. And don't even get me started on thomas. He has finally confessed his feelings for alistair making their relationship complicated and beautiful. and we all know I'm team jordelia but it's sad that matthew has fallen for someone he knows he can never have!!! But christopher still hasn't found his own spicy and sweet relationship but may not need to. After all he's got science and friends to keep him busy. But they still have to fight off there demons. Can't wait for book3!!!!!

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.

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
