Legacy by Shannon Messenger

Illusions shatter - and Sophie and her friends face impossible choices - in this astonishing eighth book in the New York Times and USA Today best-selling Keeper of the Lost Cities series.

Sophie Foster wants answers. But after a lifetime of lies, sometimes the truth is the most dangerous discovery. Even the smallest secret comes with terrifying new responsibilities.

And Sophie's not the only one with blank spots in her past, or mysteries surrounding her family. She and her friends are part of something much bigger than they imagined - and their roles have already been chosen for them.

Every clue drags them deeper into the conspiracy. Every memory forces them to question everything - especially one another. And the harder they fight, the more the lines blur between friend and enemy.

Shannon Messenger graduated from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, where she discovered, among other things, that she prefers watching movies over making them. She also eats cupcakes for breakfast on a regular basis, sleeps with Ella, a brilliant blue plush elephant, and is occasionally discovered chatting to imaginary persons. It was only natural for her to compose children's stories. Her debut novel, Keeper of the Lost Cities, will be followed by Let the Sky Fall, a young adult novel, in 2013. She and her husband reside in Southern California with an alarming number of cats. Shannon Messenger's website is ShannonMessenger.com.
