Synopses

Chain of Gold

Cordelia Carstairs, a Shadowhunter trained to fight demons, travels with her brother to Edwardian London when her father is accused of a terrible crime. With her family’s future at stake and her mother determined to marry her off, Cordelia is resolved to be a hero rather than a bride. Reunited with childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale, she is drawn into a society of ballrooms and supernatural salons, while hiding her love for James, who is sworn to marry someone else.

Chain of Iron

Cordelia appears to have everything she has wanted: she is engaged to James Herondale and has built a new life in London alongside Lucie and James’s companions, the Merry Thieves. She is also about to be reunited with her beloved father. Cordelia carries Cortana, described as a legendary hero’s blade.

Chain of Thorns

Cordelia has lost what matters most to her in only a few weeks: her father has been murdered, her plans to become parabatai with Lucie have been destroyed, and her marriage to James Herondale is crumbling. She is bound to the ancient demon Lilith, which strips her of her power as a Shadowhunter.
