Publisher's summary

A New York Times best-selling series

A USA TODAY best-selling series

A California Young Reader Medal - winning series

Dark schemes unfold - and Sophie’s loyalty is pushed to the limit - in this thrilling fifth book in the New York Times and USA TODAY best-selling Keeper of the Lost Cities series.

Sophie Foster is back in the Lost Cities - but the Lost Cities have changed. The threat of war hangs heavy over her glittering world, and the Neverseen are wreaking havoc.

The lines between friend and enemy have blurred, and Sophie is unsure whom to trust. But when she’s warned that the people she loves most will be the next victims, she knows she has to act.

A mysterious symbol could be the key - if only she knew how to translate it. Every new clue seems to lead deeper into her world’s underbelly and the Black Swans aren’t the only ones who have plans. The Neverseen have their own Initiative, and if Sophie doesn’t stop it, they might finally have the ultimate means to control her.

Great!!!

I really liked this book it is a great addition to the series.
The adventure and fantasy mixed together are perfectly appropriate for 12 yr old +
The only thing I could complain about is that the narrator sounds a bit like some Disney princesses making me feel like five year old and giving me Frozen flash backs
Over all I think this book is great for 12+ yr olds looking for appropriate fantasy adventure

Fitz is too mushy

One oh my gosh, I love Keefe to fitz is always trying to protect Sophie. It’s so annoying if you haven’t read any of my other reviews, just so you know, I am a foster-Keefe fan, and I hate fits anyway he is also kind of a jerk!!!

Great Story! Action Packed!Emotionally Intelligent

My 10yr old son read this series non stop and urged me to read it too. I could not find the time to read them, so my husband suggested Audible. This is my first time using an audible book and we love it. My son is re-listening to the series with me and is getting a "cringey" kick out of the voices. He eventually admitted that the narrator has done a great job with all the different voices. 👍 Enjoying it fully.
