“Welcome to Edwardian London, a time of electric lights and long shadows, the celebration of artistic beauty and the wild pursuit of pleasure, with demons waiting in the dark. For years there has been peace in the Shadowhunter world. James and Lucie Herondale, children of the famous Will and Tessa, have grown up in an idyll with their loving friends and family, listening to stories of good defeating evil and love conquering all. But everything changes when the Blackthorn and Carstairs families come to London…and so does a remorseless and inescapable plague.
James Herondale longs for a great love, and thinks he has found it in the beautiful, mysterious Grace Blackthorn. Cordelia Carstairs is desperate to become a hero, save her family from ruin, and keep her secret love for James hidden. When disaster strikes the Shadowhunters, James, Cordelia and their friends are plunged into a wild adventure which will reveal dark and incredible powers, and the true cruel price of being a hero…and falling in love.” - taken from Goodreads.com
The main characters in the beginning of this new trilogy are the children of the protagonist in The Infernal Devices trilogy. The Herondale, Carstairs, Fairchild, and Lightwoods are among the most well-known Shadowhunter families that appear. If you are hoping to get more Will and Tessa, you will but only in small snippets as their children and friends take over the main stage.
I thoroughly enjoyed going back into the Shadowhunter realm but this time in 1903 London. After a relatively peaceful time, demons have come back to attack in ways previously unknown. I adored every minute of this book but all of the twists, turns and shocking revelations up until the very end will leave readers desperately awaiting the next book.
Book two, Chain of Iron, is expected in March of 2021.
