Keeper of the Lost Cities is a series of middle grade fantasy novels by Shannon Messenger.Sophie Foster has always been different. Of her family, she's the only skinny blonde among chubby brunettes, and despite only being twelve, she's already a high school senior. Both of these things pales in comparison to the secret she's kept for years: she can hear the thoughts of others and has been able to ever since a traumatic brain injury when she was five.While this might sound useful, it's caused Sophie no small amount of grief: she can't turn this ability off and her attempts to mitigate the constant background noise make her stick out even more. She's too afraid to tell anyone, including her family, for fear of some government official finding out and turning her into an experiment. So, when she comes across a strange boy whose mind she can't read and who somehow knows this, she tries to run. When the boy finds her again, he introduces himself as Fitz, explaining that he's an elvin Telepath just like her. Though skeptical at first, Sophie quickly believes him when he shows her the Lost Cities, lands inhabited by elves and other creatures from myth and fairy tales.In the blink of an eye, Sophie's entire world is turned upside down. She has to leave her human family to live with a pair of elves who become her new guardians and she's enrolled into Foxfire, an elvish school where she has to unlearn all of her human-gained knowledge while simultaneously learning how to hone her telepathic abilities. Luckily, she finds a few friends who help make the transition from her old life to her new one a little smoother: there's the handsome Fitz, his younger sister Biana, the laid-back Dex, and the mischievous Keefe.Unfortunately, Sophie still can't quite manage to totally fit in: despite just recently learning about the very existence of elves, she somehow knows confidential information that only the ruling elves should be privy too. As life with her fellow elves develops, Sophie will discover that not everything is peaceful in paradise and her existence may be one small piece in an ever-changing puzzle.

Secret Identity: The Collective is the Black Swan's version of the Council. Unlike the Council, they all wear disguises and have codenames: Mr Forkle, Squall, Blur, Wraith, and Granite. Mr. Forkle is really Magnate Leto, who has another secret identity in Sir Astin, Granite is actually Sir Tiergan, and Squall is Juline, Dex's mother.

Our Elves Are Different: Elves look like beautiful humans with eyes in various shades of blue and ears that grow points as they become ancient. Most possess some form of superpower such as telepathy or hydrokenesis, are psychologically vulnerable to guilt, and have a technologically advanced society.

Secretly Selfish
 Keeper of the Lost Cities / int_16bf5630
comment
Secretly Selfish: In Legacy, a character is revealed to have selfish motivations. Councillors are forbidden from marrying and having families, so the only way Oralie could have a child and keep her position was to become a donor for Project Moonlark. This is in spite of the fact that she knew doing so would render the child unmatchable; without both biological parents' names, the person can't be matched, and couples who are considered bad matches are ridiculed and scorned. By the time Sophie realizes that Oralie is her biological mother, the elvin community has been fully shaken up by the Neverseen's actions. If she were to out the well-loved Oralie, it would result in another massive shake-up during a time when they need all the stability they can get. Sophie wants nothing to do with Oralie after she finds out all of this and only works with her because bringing down the Neverseen is far more important.

Villains Act, Heroes React
 Keeper of the Lost Cities / int_2064626a
comment
Villains Act, Heroes React: From the very start, the heroes, the Black Swan and the Council do nothing but attempt (with very mixed results) to stop the evil plans of the Neverseen. It gets to the point where Sophie can't help but feel discouraged by the fact they are always one step behind the villains, allowing innocent lives to be lost because they want to keep the moral high ground, when they don't simply put a spanner in each other's work. The one time Sophie decides to take the initiative in Unlocked, burning the Neverseen hideout to impede for once, she is berated by the adults and her friends. While they say she should have made the decision with them, they mostly scold her because they claim she has now waged war on the Neverseen, put her allies in danger and stooped as low as their enemies, even when said enemies have been killing and torturing their ranks and innocent bystanders from the start.

Beauty Equals Goodness: The elves are all supremely beautiful and are presented as one of the most peaceful species, though this is played with as its shown that their society has its own flaws and prejudices. The Vackers are heroic and described as exceptionally beautiful even amongst the elves.

Narrative Profanity Filter: As the series goes on and the characters get older, it's natural that they'd be prone to swearing. However, the series' demogrphic is middle grade, a category that greatly resitricts overt swearing. As such, the narrative mentions characters who "shouted a bunch of words that would earn [them] a month of detention" or "muttered a few more creative words under [their] breath" and so on.

Noodle Incident: The Great Gulon Incident is a prank Keefe pulled about three years before Sophie's arrival. Details about it are vague; all that's been shared is it had something to do with gulon, Dame Alina got caught up in it, and Keefe managed to plan it so well that Alina couldn't trace the prank back to him.

Humans Are Bastards
 Keeper of the Lost Cities / int_3d4d3dc9
comment
Humans Are Bastards: Elves aren't fond of how humans have been treating their shared home; they're often puzzled by their viciousness and lack of forward thinking in regards to enviromental health and animal life. Some even think they're beyond help and believe shoving them all into a sanctuary like the elvish Sanctuary is the best solution.

Humiliating Wager: Keefe and Ro have a couple of bets with embarrassing stakes in Flashback. In the beginning of the book, they have a bet on how long the Tribunal will take. If it lasts until sunset, Ro wins, and Keefe has to wear ogre armor to school (which looks like a metal diaper) instead of his uniform. If it's done in an hour, Keefe wins, and Ro has to start calling him Lord Hunkyhair. Keefe ends up winning. Later in the book, they bet on whether Sophie will be able to pull off a telekinetic move. If she can't, Ro wins and gets to shave Keefe's head. If she can, Keefe wins, and Ro has to get a tattoo reading "Sparkles Rule!". Again, Keefe wins.

Archnemesis Dad: Keefe and his dad, Lord Cassius. Lord Cassius was a cold, unfeeling father - could almost be classified as abusive - and he and Keefe never got along very well. One memorable moment is when Lord Cassius discovered that Keefe had been drawing in his school notebook, and in his anger, he ripped all the drawings to shreds. Tam and his father. Tam expresses great bitterness toward his father and obviously hated him when they still lived together.

Forgot About His Powers: In Nightfall, Sophie and her companions need to transport an unconscious Alvar. Sophie hefts his shoulders off the ground and calls for someone to get his legs, before Tam reminds her that they can just move him telekinetically.

Disney Death: Sophie and Dex's kidnappers make it look like they drowned by throwing their respective registry pendents into the ocean. Beliving them dead, the elves hold a funeral. In Exile, Alden's mind breaks from guilt, effectively turning him into a vegetable by elf standards. Since healing a broken mind has never been done before, he is considered technically dead. As such, a funeral is held. Fortunately, Sophie is able to heal Alden. In Everblaze, Fintan seemingly dies along with Kenric, but makes a dramatic reappearance in Neverseen.

Hazy-Feel Turn: At the end of Neverseen, it seems like Keefe has decided to join the evil organization. He states that it's because there's no point in going against his mother's plans for him, but is he saying that for the benefit of Brant and Alvar or does he truly belive that? The following novel confirms that he was pretending so as not to give the game away before he can even play it.

Portmanteau

Portmanteau: Keefe is fond of merging names together, either to represent a team or potential romantic pairing. In Everblaze, when Fitz starts scheming with Sophie and Keefe, Keefe suggests that their team name could be "the Keefitzter" (a portmanteau of "Keefe", "Fitz", and "Foster"). Then Biana appears and insists on being included, adding in her own name to make "Keefianaitzter" and "Keefitzeriana". In Neverseen, Keefe comes up with the names "Keefex" for himself and Dex, "Sophitz" and "Fitzphie" for Sophie and Fitz, "Sophex" and "Deephie" for Sophie and Dex, and "Sophorkle" for Sophie and Forkle. In Lodestar, Keefe comes up with "Keefoster" for himself and Sophie and "Dophie" for Dex and Sophie. After Biana and Dex are left out of an excursion, Biana suggests they should form their own group called Team Bianex. When she agrees that it's not the best name, she comes up with "Dizznacker" and "Vackiznee" as alternatives (both use Dex and Biana's family names). In Nightfall, Tam comes up with "Keephie" for Keefe and Sophie, and Keefe with "Dexphie" for Dex and Sophie. There's also the gorgodons, who are part gorgonops, part flareadon, part argentavis, and part eurypterid. Fitz thinks that should mean the gorgodons' name should be a portmanteau with each species' name, such as gorgentaveridon.

The Chosen One: Sophie, the one and only “Project Moonlark”.

Subverted because she was literally genetically engineered for this purpose while the usual recipients of this trope usually are because of a prophecy or supernatural ancestry.

Boarding School of Horrors: Exillium is a school for the "hopeless cases", that is elvin children who're Talentless, exiled, or both. The food is horrible, the medical care is subpar, and the teachers hate their job. The students aren't allowed to speak to each other or even give out their names, and they have to hide their faces behind masks. Their "ticket" to the next day's class is a bead that gives you an electrical shock when you touch it, and beads have to be earned through your efforts. This all changes after a few choice words from Sophie to Councillor Terik.

Dramatically Missing the Point
 Keeper of the Lost Cities / int_9e9203e1
comment
Dramatically Missing the Point: In Legacy, Fitz fails to get that Sophie needs reassurance that he'd still want to be with her even if she's unmatchable. He assures her that her status doesn't matter... because they'll find her genetic parents so she can become matchable. Despite her repeatedly saying that that's not gonna happen.

Action Mom: In Neverseen, Della Vacker uses her Vanishing ability to stow away and join the Black Swan, where she naturally kicks ass. Edaline Ruewen and her sister, Juline Dizznee, using their Conjuring and Frosting abilities respectively to effortlessly manhandle Ro, an ogre princess famous for her fighting abilities. Much like Della, Edaline's abilities probably come from the fact that she used to work for the Council alongside her husband as a noble. Edaline also has the added bonus of surprising strength thanks to her years of wrangling unruly animals for rehabilitation. Juline's abilities are likely a result of being a member of the Black Swan.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Elvin society has its own flaws, such as prejudice against the Talentless, multiple births (e.g. twins and triplets), certain Talents such as Shades and Pyrokinetics, and couples deemed a bad match. Most members of the Black Swan and the Neverseen were subjected to this kind of discrimination and seek to do something about these prejudices (though their methods vary greatly).

Fatal Flaw
 Keeper of the Lost Cities / int_aba8065b
comment
Fatal Flaw: Guilt would qualify for all of the elves. Most of the main characters' fatal flaw is related to the way guilt manifests in them: Personal loyalty gets Sophie into a lot of trouble over the course of the series. She can also be reckless, as well as indecisive. Fitz has issues with anger, which causes him to lash out at others. This is deliberately exploited by the Neverseen in Flashback. Keefe is extremely reckless, has low self-worth, and little regard for his own life. All three come together when he volunteers to fight King Dimitar in Sophie's place in Nightfall. Tam holds onto grudges and prioritizes Linh's safety over everything else. Dex has an inferiority complex and struggles with jealousy.

Abusive Parents: The Sencens are explicitly stated (and shown) to be verbally and emotionally abusive. Additionally, Gisela uses knowledge about her son's hatred of her, as well as who he cares about, in order to manipulate him into doing her bidding. Quan and Mai Song cared so much about their public image that they abandoned their daughter Linh as soon as she became a inconvience to them, and let her be exiled over something she couldn't control.

An inversion in Neverseen: Sophie's investigations into the identity of the Boy Who Disappeared turn up a former Exillium student named Ruy Ignis. It's later revealed that the Boy and Ruy are separate people. In Lodestar, Squall is revealed to be Juline, Dex's mother and Edaline's sister.

The Bet

The Bet: Keefe and Ro have three bets throughout Flashback. The first two, overlapping with Humiliating Wager, are respectively about how long the Tribunal will take, and whether Sophie will succeed at a certain telekinetic move. The third is about whether Sophie can get Ro and Bo's story out of Bo before Keefe comes to Havenfield, with the winner getting one guaranteed dare over the loser. Keefe ends up losing by coming to Havenfield. By the end of the novel, Ro has yet to cash in the dare, though she seems to consider using it to make Keefe confess his feelings to Sophie. She ends up cashing it in the next book, Legacy, using it to make him stay away from the Neverseen after they get a warning about them.

Cool and Unusual Punishment: In Flashback, Leto warns Keefe- who is currently skipping his elvin history session- that he can become very creative with his punishments. When Keefe expresses curiosity, Ro shuts him down since, as his bodyguard, she has to be there for his punishments, too. Leto- knowing about Ro's dislike of elvin history lectures- agrees and tells her that he found "an entire room filled with recordings of speeches from the Ancient Councillors that I think you'll find particularly enjoyable." Ro promptly starts dragging Keefe back to his session.

Informed Attribute: Elves are stated to have no concept of sexism. However, they abide by gender stereotypes, to the point Keefe was mocked by other elves for braiding and generally taking care of his hair because he is a boy. Similarly, they are said to have no concept of racism and do not take race into consideration when choosing a partner. However, every black (except Livvy/Doc) or Asian character in the books is related to each other and the Song family has been Asian-coded (Sophie describes them both as anime characters and K-pop stars) for generations. Most of the couples- at least those who have children- are monoracial as well. The fact that elves even have races identifiable to humans is indicative of the dissonance between what is stated by the author and what is represented in the books, as the main reason humans have is because they tended to keep to their own race when mating in the past, which wouldn't have been the case for elves, and elvin families should have become a blend of all races with time. Telepathy is supposedly a rare Talent, but it's the most represented Talent among the cast: Sophie, Fitz, Alden, Kenric, Tiergan, Prentice, Emery, the list goes on.

Cliffhanger: Starting with the third book, the book will end with some sort of cliffhanger: Everblaze ends with Sophie and her friends announcing their intent to join the Black Swan. Lodestar ends with Sophie meeting her sister, who recognizes her despite having her memory wiped. Nightfall ends with Alvar waking up and not knowing who he is. Flashback ends with Sophie learning that she's unmatchable thanks to her unknown biological parents. Legacy ends with Keefe in a coma right after his mom triggered his other ability. The Unlocked novella ends with Keefe leaving for the Forbideen Cities, and confessing his feelings for Sophie to her via a farewell letter. Stellarlune ends with Elysian being proved to be a person not a place like they'd assumed.

Shout-Out: There are several references scattered throughout the books, many of them to well-known pop-culture icons. In Chapter 15 of the first novel, Fitz is reading a book titled Twenty-Five Ways to Catch the Wind, a reference to the Sky Fall series by the same author. In Legacy, when Sophie's friends are suggesting new names to replace "Team Prodigious", Sophie suggests "the Order of the Phoenix".

Bystander Syndrome: Since the elves have such long lifespans, they tend to ignore addressing any immediate, low-stakes problems (such as fixing the matchmaking system), instead focusing on long-term issues.

Chekhov's Gunman

comment
Chekhov's Gunman: Sophie's human family doesn't seem to have much plot importance once Sophie begins living in the Lost Cities. They're never completely out of the picture, but that's mostly to remind the audience of Sophie's former life. Then Nightfall opens with Sophie reuniting with Amy who explains that their parents were kidnapped by the Neverseen. Sophie's rescue of her parents winds up revealing one of the Lost Cities darkest secrets: the real reason behind Atlantis' sinking. The way Marella is introduced in the first book makes it seem like she'll become a permant part of Sophie's friend group, but that doesn't seem that'll be the case come Exile. Marella comes back into the fold in Nightfall when she has Mr. Forkle try to trigger her abilities in one last ditch attempt to manifest. Turns out, she's a Pyrokentic. This ends up being a boon when she eventually becomes Fintan's pupil, putting her in the unique position to elicit information from the former Neverseen member.

Humans Are Special
 Keeper of the Lost Cities / int_e0207930
comment
Humans Are Special: Although they have finite lifespans, do not have superpowers, are less beautiful and on average less intelligent, humans have one ability that has led the Neverseen to see them as a threat and an example to learn from. They are immune to guilt. Which means that unlike, they are able to commit atrocities if it means protecting themselves and their loved ones, without their mind breaking down. However the fact that ogres and goblins are warrior species and thus use violence, just like the Neverseen themselves who kill with limited mental consequences makes one skeptical about the uniqueness of this particularity granted to humans.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In the first book, when Sophie is leaving her human family, she realizes that she's going to miss her Annoying Younger Sibling Amy, and that, even though they fought all the time, the fighting was actually fun. She rushes over to hug her, and her parents gasp. In Exile, when Sophie visits Everglen after Alden has fallen into a serious condition, Biana is unkempt and without makeup, in contrast to her usual immaculate self. In Neverseen, the morning after Keefe finds out some hard-hitting news, his normally studiously rumpled hair is flat and un-styled. Tinker usually only speaks in questions, so when she makes a direct statement, it usually indicates special circumstances. The first time she does it is when she's told about Dex designing weapons. She's shaken and murmurs, "He shouldn't."

Superior Species
 Keeper of the Lost Cities / int_f5b974c6
comment
Superior Species: Deconstructed with the elves; the elvin mind can't deal with guilt or violence: too much of either and it will shatter. To compensate, they've used their superior intellect to come at problems and conflicts through peaceful means. As such, they've developed medicinal treatments that don't require needles or major surgeries, they're huge on nature conservation and eat a vegetarian diet, and they've managed to keep the peace between the various intelligent species for thousands of years. The big exception to that last one was when humanity tried to overthrow the elves, leading them to hide themselves and let humanity eventually forget about their existence. (Nightfall reveals that the real reason humanity got angry at the elves was that they learned a group of them were running horrific experiments on some humans.) The elves also don't separate themselves based on skin color or other such prejudices usually found amongst humanity, but there is a lot of elitism surrounding Talents and those who don't have any, as well as couples who are deemed a "bad match".

Running Gag
 Keeper of the Lost Cities / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Iggy is fed one or muliple kinds of elixers that change his fur's color and/or texture. It's lampshaded in Stellarlune that it's been so long since Iggy's been his natural color that Sophie wonders if anyone even remembers what it was. Fitz and Dex going "wow" when they see Linh's Hydrokinesis.

comment
Vegetarian Carnivore: Grady and Edaline train animals like T-rexes to stop hunting and go vegetarian. It helps that gnomes can grow plants with the taste and texture of meat.

All Trolls Are Different
 Keeper of the Lost Cities / int_fd752bc3
comment
All Trolls Are Different: Trolls go through seven life stages. As newborns, they are physically strong but mentally weak, and as they progress through subsequent stages, their strength decreases and their mental facilities increase. Stage Four Trolls like Tarina are considered to have the best balance of physical strength and mental capabilities.
