In the thrilling sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller, "Chain of Gold," Cassandra Clare takes readers on a perilous journey through Edwardian London in "Chain of Iron." Cordelia Carstairs, seemingly living a charmed life, is engaged to James Herondale, her lifelong love, and wields the legendary hero's blade, Cortana. However, her reality is far bleaker—her engagement is a facade to salvage her reputation, and Cortana inflicts burns when touched.

As London's Shadowhunters face a mysterious serial murderer, Cordelia, James, and Lucie embark on a treacherous quest to uncover the killer's identity. Each harbors a shocking secret: Lucie is experimenting with raising the dead, Cordelia has sworn a perilous oath to an enigmatic power, and James fears he may be the very killer they are hunting.

The dark and romantic narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the city's most dangerous streets, where the killer strikes under the cover of darkness and vanishes without a trace. Friendships are tested, loyalties strained, and love faces unprecedented challenges.

"Chain of Iron" weaves a tale of danger, romance, and mystery, capturing the essence of the Shadowhunters' world as they confront the shadows that threaten to consume them. Will Cordelia, James, and Lucie unravel the secrets in time to stop the murderer, or will the darkness claim them all?
