"When you become sixteen, you will get a permanent mark identical to one on your Soulmate's wrist. That will bind you together forever." ~~~~ The Neverseen have grown larger in number and have more power. Thousands have fallen because of the Neverseen. The only place safe to go is to The Forbidden Cities. Something there is scaring the Neverseen away. Sophie and her friends leave, right at the time when they will come of age and find their soulmates. Together they will discover Washington, D.C. but more importantly, love.
