I’ve been highly anticipating this installment in the Shadowhunters world since it was announced back in 2013. When disaster strikes the Shadowhunters, James, Cordelia and their friends are plunged into a wild adventure which will reveal dark and incredible powers, and the true cruel price of being a hero…and falling in love. Cordelia Carstairs is desperate to become a hero, save her family from ruin, and keep her secret love for James hidden. James Herondale longs for a great love, and thinks he has found it in the beautiful, mysterious Grace Blackthorn. But everything changes when the Blackthorn and Carstairs families come to London…and so does a remorseless and inescapable plague. James and Lucie Herondale, children of the famous Will and Tessa, have grown up in an idyll with their loving friends and family, listening to stories of good defeating evil and love conquering all.

For years there has been peace in the Shadowhunter world. Welcome to Edwardian London, a time of electric lights and long shadows, the celebration of artistic beauty and the wild pursuit of pleasure, with demons waiting in the dark. Chain of Gold is the first novel in a new trilogy that stars the Shadowhunters of Edwardian London.
