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.
