The Last Hours: Chain of Thorns

From New York Times bestselling author Cassandra Clare comes the final book in the Last Hours Trilogy.

In this addition to the Shadowhunters series, evil is hiding in plain sight and the only thing more dangerous than fighting demons is falling in love.

Cordelia Carstairs has lost everything she loves. In a matter of weeks she has witnessed the murder of her father, her plans to become parabatai with her best friend, Lucie, destroyed, and her marriage to James Herondale has crumbled before her very eyes. To make matters worse, she is forcibly bound to an ancient demon, Lilith, stripping away her powers as a shadowhunter.

But after fleeing to Paris with fellow shadowhunter Matthew Fairchild, Cordelia hopes to forget her sorrows in the city's glittering nightlife. That is until news spreads about Tatiana Blackthorn escaping the Adamant Citadel, and London is now under new threat by the Prince of Hell, Belial.

Cordelia returns to a London driven into chaos and panic. The long-kept secret that Belial is James and Lucie's grandfather has been revealed by an unexpected enemy, and the Herondales find themselves under suspicion of dealings with demons. Cordelia longs to protect James, but is torn between a love for James she has long believed hopeless, and the possibility of a new life with Matthew.

But time is short, and Belial's plan is about to crush the Shadowhunters of London like a deadly wave. Left alone in a shadowy London, they must face Belial's deadly army. If Cordelia and her friends are going to save their city they will have to muster their courage, swallow their pride, and trust one another again. For if they fail, they may lose everything...
