In this riveting debut, a telepathic girl must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world—before the wrong person finds the answer first.

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. And Sophie has a secret—she’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. 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 almost instantly 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.

I loved reading this book. It's one of those books where you read the first sentence and it immediately pulls you in and doesn't let you go. I love all the twists and turns that it takes and that Sophie has to try to fit in with everyone else.

Me Me

YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!!!!!! But get all the books in advance because once you start you can't stop. It's even better than Harry potter

OMG! THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER! Im still waiting for the next one....Im running out of books to read... ;-;

Sophie Foster is different. She's can read minds since she fell when she was five. She always felt alone. And the fact she's a twelve-year-old senior prodigy doesn't help. So when she meets Fitz, who can also read minds, her life is a about to change. She's an elf. If you're thinking about those with bells on their shoes and thighs, you're very much wrong. Elves build everything out of crystal, have indefinite lifespans, and all have a special ability. They're also stunningly beautiful. Sophie has to move to the Lost Cities. She makes friends and ennemies. But when she discovers she has memories of Eternalia, the elven capital, when she was living with humans, she realizes something is wrong... I love this book. Kotlc is my favourite series. Sophie is brave, kind, smart... For me, Sophie is a model in my life.

This is amazing and super interesting! I loved it!

I own a hard back of this book and its true. This book is amazing. It will make U cry and happy at the same time. This book is a must read!

This book is just a poorly written mash-up of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Matched, and the Lord of the Rings. I did not enjoy it AT ALL.

Oh. Im sorry you didnt like it.

she id so cool love it so much!!!

Sophie Foster isn't an ordinary 12 year old. Maybe it's because she's a senior in highschool and can read minds. But it all changes when she meets Fitz, a very cute boy. Her shows her a world where she belongs and her life changes like a snap. She has new guardians, new life, new rules to learn, and she has secrets hidden in her brain. I love this series SO much!
