About the Last Hours Series

The Last Hours series by Cassandra Clare is a truly spellbinding trip through the Shadowhunter universe, which is really a hotbed of danger, love, and heartbreak. In period of Edwardian London, the trilogy is a prequel to the new characters and emotional challenges explored in The Infernal Devices, but it definitely draws in its own fan base. As the story gets more and more attention, main focus is Cordelia Carstairs, a brave and determined young Shadowhunter who moves to London to save her family’s name—but finds herself fighting much more than just rumors and scandal. When she reconnects with her childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale, Cordelia is drawn into a gleaming but dangerous place where demons come out in the open and trickery is everywhere. Still with ballrooms and secrets, danger is lurking there all the time so Cordelia and her friends do not just fight the new monsters, but also face love, loyalty, and sacrifice which are painful truths. With Clare’s signature style of depicting the world, the use of dark magic, and very personal character drama, The Last Hours is a perfect reading choice for fantasy and romance fans. The series can attract those who are just discovering the Shadowhunter universe and those who have been there for a while alike, a new, emotional and full of action experience needed to be missed out by no one.
