Power and politics, heartbreak and danger, magic and mermaids—Lucy must conquer it all in the compelling conclusion to the enchanting series that began with Chantress and continued with Chantress Alchemy.
With a song, Lucy can control the wind and the water; she can bring castles and kingdoms to their feet. Since Lucy mastered her powers, King Henry has kept her close. And now he’s called her to investigate attempted murder—by a mermaid. All Lucy can glean from the creature they’ve captured is a warning: The sea is coming. We are coming. And we will drown you all.
And then the floods begin. Swaths of London are submerged as the people scramble to defend themselves against the water, and the monsters, that are flooding their streets. As mistrust of Lucy’s magic grows, the king relies on Nat, Lucy’s great love, to guide them through the storm. But Nat is cold and distant to Lucy. He swore his love only a year before, but now he calls her “stranger.”
Lucy is determined to defeat this powerful new magic alone if she must. But then she hears an eerie song within the water…can it mean that she is not the last Chantress after all?

Plot As in all the novels of this saga, a thousand and one things happen through the pages, one after another. As more information comes out, the plot picks up until you can't put the book down. However, I think the last third of the novel has not been up to the task. It becomes quite repetitive and it seems that everything the protagonist does is useless. There are things that could be easily solved and although these decisions and these turns are understood by Lucy's feelings, I think that the author could have avoided repeating certain situations (for example: a ruse that happens twice practically the same, you understand that Lucy falls once and again, but it seems unnecessary to me). It seems like an attempt to lengthen the moment of maximum tension and I think the effect is the opposite: it loses "power". There are also elements that I think could have been better used. Main character: Lucy I have liked Lucy since I know her and it seems that this will never change. From this part, I have loved her fears and doubts, which are as human as she (although other people do not think the same). I think she has grown a lot from the first page to the last and has come to understand a very important value which is self-esteem and trusting oneself regardless of whether others do or not. In Chantress Fury they also offer us some touches of how her life was like before everything; the author reveals information about her mother and father. She also talks about much older ancestors
