In Nightfall (Keeper of the Lost Cities Series) (Aladdin), Sophie and her friends face battles unlike anything they’ve seen before. Sophie Foster is struggling. Grieving. Scrambling. But she knows one thing: she will not be defeated. All paths lead to Nightfall—an ominous door to an even more ominous place—and Sophie and her friends strike a dangerous bargain to get there. But nothing can prepare them for what they discover. The problems they’re facing stretch deep into their history. And with time running out, and mistakes catching up with them, Sophie and her allies must join forces in ways they never have before.
