The story is also meant to connect in some way with The Wicked Powers series specifically.The series and book titles were taken from the Charles Dickens' classic novel Great Expectations, of which the series is a loose form of retelling (with there being parallels among characters: James like Pip and Grace as Estella (with many readers assuming that Cordelia is like Biddy in the situation), Matthew like Herbert, and Tatiana as Miss Havisham).Chain of Gold, Chain of Iron, and Chain of Thorns are all narrated by Finty Williams. ![]()
