From #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling 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 beforethese 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 powersand forced a brutal choice that will reveal the true cruel price of being a hero.

來自《紐約時報》和《今日美國》暢銷作家卡桑德拉·克萊爾(Cassandra Clare)的全新三部曲首部小說,《魔影獵人》系列《金色之鍊》。
 
科迪莉亞·卡斯泰爾斯(Cordelia Carstairs)是一名魔影獵人,一名從小接受訓練與惡魔戰鬥。當她的父親被指控犯下可怕罪行時,她和弟弟前往倫敦,希望阻止家族的毀滅。科迪莉亞的母親想要把她嫁出去,但她決心成為一名英雄,而不只是一個新娘。不久之後,科迪莉亞遇見了童年時的朋友詹姆斯和露西·赫倫代爾(James和Lucie Herondale),被吸引進入他們閃爍著華麗舞廳、秘密約會和超自然沙龍的世界,其中吸血鬼和術士與美人魚和魔法師共處。與此同時,她必須隱藏對詹姆斯的秘密愛慕,而詹姆斯卻宣誓要娶別人。
 
但當一系列令人震驚的惡魔襲擊摧毀了倫敦時,科迪莉亞的新生活被摧毀了。這些怪物與那些暗影獵手之前戰鬥過的怪物完全不同——這些惡魔在白天行走,用不治之症的毒液攻擊粗心大意的人,而且似乎無法殺死。倫敦立即被隔離。被困在城市中的科迪莉亞和她的朋友們發現,他們與黑暗遺產的聯繫賦予了他們難以置信的力量,並迫使他們做出殘酷的選擇,這將揭示成為英雄的真正殘酷代價
