Chain of Thorns is the conclusion of the trilogy The Last Hours, by the worldwide bestselling author Cassandra Clare, who has already sold more than 50 million books (and with 50 million readers, you won't be left out, right?).
After her father is murdered, her plans to become her best friend's parabatai fall apart, her marriage to James Herondale falls apart, and she becomes trapped by the demon Lilith, Cordelia Carstairs leaves London to drown her sorrows in glamorous Paris in the company of Matthew Fairchild, who also has his own demons to expunge. But after receiving terrible news from London, reality crushes Cordelia's plans once again.
Tatiana Blackthorn fled the Adamant Citadel, and the relationship between Belial, the Prince of Hell, and young Lucie and James Herondale came to light, placing the entire Herondale family under the scrutiny of the Clave.
In the midst of all this, Cordelia finds herself torn between her love for James—which she considers impossible—and a life with Matthew, while her friends are torn apart by their own secrets.
At the epicenter of Belial's impending attack, Cordelia, Lucie, and the Merry Thieves will find themselves alone to face the Prince of Hell's lethal army. Can the young Shadowhunters save the city—and their families? They may have no choice, because if they fail, they could lose everything, including their own souls.
Chain of Thorns is the highly anticipated and thrilling sequel to Chain of Iron and the conclusion of the Last Hours trilogy, which began with Chain of Gold .
