Description
From internationally bestselling author Cassandra Clare comes the first novel in a brand new Shadowhunters trilogy. Evil is hiding in plain sight and the only thing more dangerous than fighting demons is falling in love.
Filled with thrilling action and heart-wrenching romance, The Last Hours: Chain of Gold plunges readers into the gripping world of the Shadowhunters, where heroes are forged in the crucible of darkness.
Cordelia Carstairs is not just any Shadowhunter; she is a warrior with a soul determined to make her mark. Raised in the art of demon hunting, she faces a new kind of challenge when her father stands accused of a heinous crime. With her family's honour on the line, Cordelia, along with her brother, travels to Edwardian London in a desperate bid to prevent their ruin.
In London, Cordelia reunites with her childhood friends, James and Lucie Herondale. Together, they navigate a world where glittering ballrooms mask shadowy secrets, and powerful beings, from vampires to warlocks, gather. Amidst these dazzling social events, Cordelia must conceal her deep, unspoken love for James, who is destined to marry another. Her struggle intensifies as her mother pressures her into a marriage she does not want, while Cordelia herself yearns to become a hero in her own right.
However, their world is shattered when a series of unprecedented demon attacks throw London into chaos. These new breed of demons can walk in daylight, and their mere touch is lethal. As the city goes into quarantine, Cordelia, James, and their friends find themselves trapped and besieged. In their quest for survival, they uncover a dark legacy that bestows upon them remarkable powers but forces them to confront harrowing choices. These powers may be the key to saving themselves and the city, but they come with a ruthless price that tests their courage and bonds.
The Last Hours: Chain of Gold is a tale of bravery, love, and sacrifices. It captures the turmoil of young Shadowhunters standing against an overwhelming darkness, weighed down by ancestral sins yet driven by hope. This riveting narrative, adorned with Clare's signature blend of fantasy and romance, promises to keep readers hooked till the very last page.
