YA
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.

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.
