Publisher's Summary
Includes “Fairy Tale of London”, a bonus short story featuring Will and Tessa!
Number one New York Times best seller
“A pure distillation of fantasy’s enchanting mirror held up to our own truths.” (Entertainment Weekly)
“Richly imagined...rife with action, intrigue, and smoldering romance.” (Publishers Weekly)
From number one New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cassandra Clare comes the first novel in a brand-new trilogy where evil hides in plain sight and love cuts deeper than any blade. Chain of Gold is a Shadowhunters novel.
Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons. When her father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother travel to London in hopes of preventing the family’s ruin. Cordelia’s mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a hero rather than a bride. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale and is drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms, secret assignations, and supernatural salons, where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians. All the while, she must hide her secret love for James, who is sworn to marry someone else.
But Cordelia’s new life is blown apart when a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. These monsters are nothing like those Shadowhunters have fought before - these demons walk in daylight, strike down the unwary with incurable poison, and seem impossible to kill. London is immediately quarantined. Trapped in the city, Cordelia and her friends discover that their own connection to a dark legacy has gifted them with incredible powers - and forced a brutal choice that will reveal the true cruel price of being a hero.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 89
All Magnus Bane wanted was a vacation - a lavish trip across Europe with Alec Lightwood, the shadowhunter who against all odds is finally his boyfriend. But as soon as the pair settles in Paris, an old friend arrives with news about a demon-worshiping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos around the world. A cult that was apparently founded by Magnus himself. Years ago. As a joke. Now, Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Hand and its elusive new leader before the cult can cause any more damage.

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

As always, Never disappointed.
loved it. I am always looking forward to seeing how she ties generations into together and brings to light the answers I have been searching for from the Mortal Instruments Books. I am so happy she continued from the Infernal Devices.
the person doing the narrating is fantastic. I general love to read and have my own voices in my head with characters, but with my schedule audio books are my reading. The read here was fantastic. I can't explain. I have had the unfortunate experience of a few of my favourite reads being ruined in audiobooks but not here.
Thank you Ms. Clare for the fantastic novel. I am waiting with anticipation for the next book.

Good book
I loved the book! would have enjoyed it more but a few times the narrator's voice went way to quiet I had to take it back and turn up the volume for the narrator to yell in a couple spots. other than that I loved it!

A worthy read
Struggled to get started reading it. There are so many characters that share the last names of characters from her other books and they are all introduced at once which made it a confusing start. After you get to learn the different characters and their relationships it becomes much more enjoyable.

Love Cortana
I loved all the characters but Matthew Fairchild the most 💕 aside from Cordelia.
It took me so long to get through that audio because I was afraid of finishing and having to wait how ever long for the next one.
I always forget There’s always like 2-3 hours of just wrap up in Cassies books for that reason I love her but also was a tad like ok is it over yet this time around it was like lemon juice in the salty wounds guhh
Excited for more Magnus and Church the cat!!!!
