Gr 8 Up—The final volume in a finely written and sweeping fantasy trilogy. Set in 17th-century England, the series centers on Lucy, the last Chantress who has the power to sing magic into the world. King Henry employs Lucy to investigate a supernatural murder—just as London begins to flood. Magic, history, and romance combine to great effect, buoyed by Greenfield's graceful writing. A strong series that will likely find both YA and adult readers.
In this trilogy-closer, Lucy (a "Chantress" with the ability to command water with her magic) defends London against a mysterious magical attacker from deep within the ocean. The tangled plot and multiple character introductions weaken the emotional impact, but plot threads involving romance, witch hunts, the origins of Chantresses, and the fate of Lucy's mother give the narrative depth and heft.
