WANTED: Sophie Foster.
Framed by DNA evidence, betrayed by witnesses, and condemned by the Council, she has only one option left-run. The Forbidden Cities may be loud, chaotic, and far from home, but Sophie learns to survive in the shadows.
While the Council orders her friends to hunt her down and "bring her to justice," Sophie crosses paths with a hidden band of elves like herself-outcasts with scars, secrets, and a shared resentment toward the Council. With them, she discovers a life she never knew she could have: days without constant danger, friendships that don't hinge on status, and a family that chooses loyalty over law. For the first time in months, she breathes freely.
But peace never lasts.
In the Lost Cities, the Neverseen inch closer to their goal: fracture the world, rebuild it in their image, and claim power from the rubble. As their plans accelerate, the pressure snaps tight around everyone Sophie left behind.
Now, a choice looms.
Her old friends must decide whether to chase Sophie again-no matter how long it takes, no matter what answer she gives-or place their fate in the hands of the new "moonlark," a stranger to them, but one who promises sweeping change. Change that could save their world... or push it to the brink of collapse.
