Lucy's Chantress magic will make her the most powerful--and most
hunted--girl in England. "Sing, and the darkness will find you." This
warning has haunted fifteen-year-old Lucy ever since she was eight and
shipwrecked on a lonely island. Lucy's guardian, Norrie, has lots of
rules, but the most important is that Lucy must never sing. Not ever.
Now it is 1667, Lucy is fifteen, and on All Hallows' Eve, Lucy hears a
tantalizing melody on the wind. She can't help but sing--and soon she is
swept away into the darkness.
When she awakens in England, Lucy hears powerful men discussing
Chantresses--women who can sing magic into the world. They are hunting
her, but she escapes and is able to find sanctuary with the Invisible
College, an organization plotting to overthrow the nefarious Lord
Protector. But, the only person powerful enough to bring about his
downfall is a Chantress. And Lucy is the last one in England. Lucy
struggles to master the song-spells and harness her power, but the Lord
Protector is moving quickly. And her feelings for Nat, an Invisible
College apprentice and scientist who deeply distrusts her magic, only
add to her confusion...Time is running out, and the fate of England
hangs in the balance in this entrancing audiobook that is atmospheric,
lyrical, dangerous, and romantic.
