Chantress Alchemy

Lucy races against time and magic in this €œcompelling sequel€ (Booklist) to the €œrichly and thoughtfully written€ (Publishers Weekly) Chantress.

Lucy is the last Chantress, the only remaining girl who can sing magic into the world. Since she defeated the evil Lord Scargrave, England has changed€"and not for the better. With crops failing and the people rebelling, Lucy is called urgently back to King Henry€s court. His Inner Council is convinced that making gold through alchemy will save England. But a critical element to the alchemical process has been stolen. Lucy is tasked with finding it with her magic€¦or else. And until she succeeds, the castle is on lockdown.

Court too has changed. Scargrave€s brutal Chantress Hunter has become King Henry€s closest advisor. Lucy€s beloved Nat has fallen out of favor and is shunned by his colleagues. Worst of all, Lucy€s magic has deserted her. She can no longer hear the song spells at court, and must find a way to access her powers soon€"or be accused of treason.

Amy Butler Greenfield returns to the volatile world of Chantress for an exciting tale that weaves together courtly intrigue, mystery, romance, magic, and music.
