Chantress by Amy Butler Greenfield
Sing and the darkness will find you.Shipwrecked on an island seven years ago, Lucy has been warned she must never sing, or disaster will strike. But on All Hallows Eve, Lucy hears tantalizing music in the air. When she sings it, she unlocks a terrible secret: She is a Chantress, a spell-singer, brought to the island not by shipwreck but by a desperate enchantment gone wrong.
Her song lands her back in England — and in mortal peril, for the kingdom lies in the cruel grasp of a powerful Lord Protector and his mind-reading hunters, the Shadowgrims. The Protector has killed all Chantresses, for they alone can destroy the Shadowgrims. Only Lucy has survived.
In terrible danger, Lucy takes shelter with Nat, a spy who turns her heart upside-down. Nat has been working with his fellow scholars of the Invisible College to overthrow the Lord Protector, and they have long hoped to find a living Chantress to help them. But Lucy is completely untrained, and Nat deeply distrusts her magic. If Lucy cannot master the songspells, how long can she even stay alive?
Does it, or does it not, sound absolutely amazing? It's definitely original (SO glad we're getting more of these by the year!) and as a singer myself *wink* I want to see how this turns out! I mean, it's definitely a twist on the old Siren's tale, no? And the cover? YES. (Yes, I'm a cover-lover! :D)
Oh man look at that cover! It is simply gorgeous! And the summery looks awesome too. Btw, could you put a link to Goodreads in? I'd love to add it to my TBR! :)
