Sophie Foster thought life was hard enough as it was. She's lost her best friend, has the council and most of the Lost Cities against her, lost her human family, partly blamed herself for the Neverseen's attacks as well as Kenric's passing and Keefe's leaving.

But the Neverseen won't allow that to happen will they?
