The second instalment in The Last Hours trilogy, a Shadowhunters novel by bestselling author Cassandra Clare!

Cordelia Carstairs seems to have everything she has ever wanted. She is engaged to her childhood lover James. She has a new life in London with her best friend Lucie. She is soon to be reunited with her beloved father. And she bears the sword Cortana, a legendary hero's blade… But the truth is far grimmer. 

James and Cordelia's marriage is a lie. James is in love with the mysterious Grace Blackthorn whose brother, Jesse, died years ago in a terrible accident. Cortana burns Cordelia's hand when she touches it, while her father has grown bitter and angry. And a serial murderer is targeting the Shadowhunters of London, killing under cover of darkness, then vanishing without a trace.

They each keep a shocking secret: Lucie, that she plans to raise Jesse from the dead; Cordelia, that she has sworn a dangerous oath of loyalty to a mysterious power; and James, that he is being drawn further each night into the dark web of his grandfather, the arch-demon Belial. And that he himself may be the killer they seek…
