History[]
Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities[]
Sophie Foster had always found it strange that Mr. Forkle, her neighbor, spends his time moving his garden gnomes into elaborate compositions. She later learned that Mr. Forkle was doing this to communicate information to the Black Swan.
Book 3: Everblaze[]
In Everblaze, Sophie and Keefe Sencen teleported to the street she lived on before moving to the Lost Cities. She then checked his gnomes, which were in the shape of the constellation "Cygnus" which means swan. There was one missing gnome to finish the constellation, so Sophie went to where the missing gnome was and dug up a note from the Black Swan.
