Chantress

Lucy's Chantress magic will make her the most powerful - and most hunted - girl in England. "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 soon she is swept away into the darkness.

When she awakens in England, Lucy hears powerful men discussing Chantresses - women who can sing magic into the world. They are hunting her, but she escapes and is able to find sanctuary with the Invisible College, an organization plotting to overthrow the nefarious Lord Protector. But, 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 audiobook that is atmospheric, lyrical, dangerous, and romantic.
