Keeper of the Lost Cities Audiobook
Project Overview
Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that’s what she thinks…
But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath, too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known.
But Sophie still has secrets, and they’re buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high demand. What is her true identity, and why was she hidden among humans? The truth could mean life or death—and time is running out.

"Blurry fractured memories swam through Sophie's mind, but she couldn't piece them together. She tried opening her eyes and found only darkness.

“We have been playing both sides for far too long. Convincing ourselves that we're above the problems plaguing the other intelligent species, all while attempting to prepare for any worst-case scenarios - though rather convoluted methods, I'll admit.
