YA
As the last surviving Chantress (a hunted lineage of women who can perform magic through song) in a fantastical historical England, Lucy is called to London to solve a kingdom-threatening theft; intrigue, injustice, and double-crosses abound. More streamlined than Chantress, this sequel expands the scope of conflict and advances the romance. However, the plot underpinnings remain over-explained and simplistic.
