Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. In Edwardian London, the Shadowhunters face a deadly challenge in this romantic sequel to a bestselling novel. Cordelia Carstairs appears to have it all: an engagement to James Herondale, a new life in London with her best friend Lucie and the Merry Thieves, and a reunion with her father. However, their marriage is a facade, meant to protect Cordelia's reputation, as James harbors feelings for Grace Blackthorn, whose brother Jesse died in a tragic accident. Cordelia struggles with the burning pain from the legendary sword Cortana and her father's bitterness. Meanwhile, a serial killer is targeting Shadowhunters, striking under the cover of darkness and disappearing without a trace. Cordelia, James, and Lucie, along with the Merry Thieves, must navigate the perilous streets of London to uncover the identity of the knife-wielding murderer. Each character harbors a shocking secret: Lucie intends to resurrect Jesse; Cordelia has pledged loyalty to a mysterious power; and James is increasingly entangled in the dark influence of his grandfather, the arch-demon Belial, leading him to question whether he might be the very killer they are hunting.

Synopsis:

Cordelia Carstairs seems to have everything she ever wanted. She’s engaged to marry James Herondale, the boy she has loved since childhood. She has a new life in London with her best friend Lucie Herondale and James’s charming companions, the Merry Thieves. She is about 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, arranged to save Cordelia’s reputation. 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.

Together with the Merry Thieves, Cordelia, James, and Lucie must follow the trail of the knife-wielding killer through the city’s most dangerous streets. All the while, each is keeping 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.
