Synopsis
Illusions shatter—and Sophie and her friends face impossible choices—in this astonishing eighth book in the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling 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.

Rejected Titles
This is a list of all the rejected titles and the reasons why they were rejected. They were released on Jan. 28-30. Reason: There's a very famous movie by the same name, so Shannon Messenger and her editor thought that would be too confusing to have it called the same name. Reason: She was worried readers would see the word "dead" and assume someone dies in the book. Shannon Messenger won’t say whether or not someone dies, but she didn’t want anyone to assume that they did. Reason: Shannon Messenger didn't think it felt right, and thought it wasn't exciting enough to do justice to the plot. Also, the book is about more than just matchmaking.

Cover
The official cover has not been released yet. It will likely be released within the coming months before summer. From the title image, it can be assumed that this volume will carry a similar color scheme with hues of blue, orange, and pink.

Title Theories

 * The title "Legacy" might have been chosen because it has been hinted about how Tam will be filling in Keefe's spot in the "Legacy" thing. -User:Goofygirl323
 * It could be hinting toward more information about the "Vacker legacy". -User:MagicDaydreamer
 * It could be hinting at Lady Gisela's "Legacy" For Keefe-User:MoonCakes64

Synopsis Theories

 * Since the synopsis is focused on memories and past, Keefe may get some memories back -User:TheSavageCabbageKing
 * Maybe what it means by the lines blurring between friend and enemy is that they form an alliance with Fintan. -64.126.36.69
 * Probably this time the "super secret special end part" will be about Tam - 23.02.2019
 * Maybe Tam will really join the Neverseen for good. I don't want to believe it, but it could happen. -95.104.109.139
