Summary:
“Sing, and the darkness will find you.”
“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 she is swept
into darkness.
When she awakes in England, Lucy hears powerful men discussing Chantresses—women who can sing magic into the world. They are hunting her, but she escapes and finds sanctuary with the Invisible College, an organization plotting to overthrow the nefarious Lord Protector. 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 novel that is atmospheric and lyrical, dangerous and romantic.
