We still have the usual Shadowhunters, Downworlders and Demons, and like The Infernal Devices, Chain of Gold is set in the Victorian Era. The main characters in this new trilogy are the teenage children of those we came to love in The Infernal Devices, including Tessa and Will. For fans of Cassandra Clare, she has done it again! If you have read both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series, you will want to continue the story with her new Chain trilogy.Ĭhain of Gold is set after the Clockwork Wars and is also a prequel to The Mortal Instruments. ![]()
