Keeper of the Lost Cities
Keeper of the Lost Cities is an upper-middle-grade fantasy series that has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. It won the 2017 Middle School/Junior High California Young Reader Medal.

The series tells the story of Sophie Foster, a twelve-year-old high school senior with the ability to read minds. She has always felt alone, until a mysterious boy named Fitz Vacker shows her that there is a place where she belongs, and staying where she is will put her in terrible danger. She is forced to leave behind everything she has known and start a new life in the Lost Cities. Only then does she realize that she was given extraordinarily powerful abilities — and deadly secrets hidden in her subconscious — by a group of rebels, and she must find her real purpose in the Lost Cities.

The story continues in the following six books released each year after Keeper of the Lost Cities, as well two short stories. At least two more books in the series are planned for release in 2019 and 2020.
