Sophie Foster/Synopsis

==Book 1==
Sophie Foster is twelve years old and lives in San Diego with Will and Emma Foster and her sister Amy. She has been hearing the thoughts of humans since she was five years old. The whole family is unaware of Sophie's true origin, until she meets the elf Fitz who tells her the truth. The elves tell her that she has to live under elves from now on, while they erase all memories of her from her family's mind.
She is adopted by Grady and Edaline Ruewen and attends the Foxfire Academy for the nobility. A few months later, hundreds of fires are burning near human cities and after doing some research, Sophie believes that the fires are Everblaze, flames caused by cosmic energy that burn everything. Black Swan lets her know that there were fatalities due to the fires and that they are close to her human family and sends her all the tools she needs to prove her theory. She light leaps to one of the fires and collects a probe. The fires are indeed Everblaze and Fintan, the only known elf able to summon it, is arrested.
After this, the Neverseen, an extremist rebel organization, kidnap Sophie and Dex, who was only looking after her, to Paris and fake their deaths. Another pyrokinetic tortures and interrogates them, until they are rescued by Mr. Forkle. He triggers Sophie's abilities of inflicting and polygloting before he leaves them. Sophie and Dex are discovered by the Neverseen before they can light leap back home. When they are about to kill Dex, Sophie's rage makes her new ability inflict pain on them. They lose consciousness and Sophie light leaps with Dex, but she almost fades.
The elves have extinguished Everblaze and realize that an unregistered pyrokinetic summoned it. The goblin Sandor is assigned to Sophie as bodyguard.
==Book 2: Exile==
Sophie, Dex and Grady are searching a Sasquatch, known as Bigfoot in human myths. It turns out that they went after an alicorn, unicorns with silver fur. There is only one other known specimen of this species. Sophie telepathically convinces it to trust them and finds out that the alicorn is female and her name is Silveny, while the other alicorn is male and called Greyfell. The High Council wants Sophie to prepare Silveny to be moved into the Sanctuary to the other alicorn to keep her save.
Once a year, Grady and Edaline visit the grave of her daughter Jolie, who died in a fire sixteen years ago. While wandering around the graveyard, Sophie finds the graves that were made for her and Dex after the Neverseen faked their deaths. She finds another message by Black Swan on them, but Grady doesn’t want her to do anything for this group, as he believes that they killed Jolie after he refused to join them. After the grave they visit Jolie’s former fiance Brant Alger, who now is afraid of any warmth and lives in a fireproof house.
The High Council orders Alden to perform a memory break at Fintan, a process where Fintan’s mind will be destroyed to retrieve the identity of the pyrokinetic who summoned Everblaze. Alden asks Sophie to help him and she agrees. Fintan confesses to hide something and Alden begins with the memory break. But before he can find the secret, Fintan burns his hand and Alden loses concentration, the identity of the unregistered pyrokinetic remains unknown. While leaving the prison, they come to Prentice cell. The High Council ordered a memory break on him too, because he is a member of Black Swan and the organization was considered evil that time. Sophie gets curious and enters his mind, where she sees Jolie with a black swan, making her believe that Jolie had something to do with it.
After seeing Wylie, Prentice son, during the Foxfire opening ceremonies, Alden feels very guilty because he performed the memory break on Prentice. The elfin mind can’t process too much guilt, causing Alden’s mind to break.
Sophie realizes that her abilities aren’t working properly since she almost faded. Black Swan offers to heal her. Silveny flies her and Keefe to a cave where she meets Mr. Forkle again. He tells her that after the healing she will be able to heal a broken mind, but that only Limbium can heal her, a medicine she is deadly allergic to. He also convinces her that Black Swan didn’t kill Jolie. Sophie wants to heal Alden’s mind, so she decides to drink the Limbium. After Mr. Forkle saved her, Sophie, Keefe and Silveny leave the cave. Suddenly the Neverseen attack again but this time they only want to take Silveny. During the fight Sophie realizes that she can now also teleport and brings all three back to Havenfield.
Sophie heals Alden’s mind and presents Silveny to the public during the Celestial Festival before Silveny is moved into the Santuary to the other alicorn.
== Book 3: Everblaze ==
Sophie and Keefe want to teleport into the Sanctuary to see if Silveny and Greyfell are alright. They find a tracking device from the Neverseen in Silveny’s trail. Lady Cadence discovers that the tracking device is covered with Aromark, an invisible enzyme the ogres use as targeting system for their biological weapons, which is now also on Silveny’s tail and Sophie’s and Keefe’s hands, but Elwin removes all of it.
The High Council orders Sophie to heal Fintan’s mind and obtain the identity of the unregistered pyrokinetic. Fintan is brought to Oblivimyre, a tower that is ice cold inside, to prevent him from summoning fire. Together with Fitz, Sophie heals Fintan’s mind, but before they find out who the pyrokinetic is, Fintan is able to summon Everblaze and they have to leave Oblivimyre. Councilor Kenric is killed by the flames and Fintan is assumed dead, before Everblaze can be extinguished.
During Kenric’s funeral, the Ogre King Dimitar appears and tries to figure out the weaknesses of the elves he can exploit. Sophie wants to read his mind to find out his plan, but Dimitar instantly notices it and declares war. Lady Cadence convinces Dimitar not to do it and declares that Sophie will be punished.
The High Council forces Sophie to wear an Ability Restrictor invented by Dex without knowing that they would use it as Sophie’s punishment. Black Swan plans to ambush the Neverseen with Fitz, Biana and Keefe on Mount Everest. Reading Jolie’s diary, Sophie finds out that Brant is the unregistered pyrokinetic and that he accidentally caused the fire that killed Jolie. Grady tries to kill Brant, Sophie wants to stop him using her inflicting, but it knocks Grady out.
She presses her panic switch, a gadget invented by Dex to let him know when she is in danger, Dex appears before Brant can kill her and pushes him into the fire he summoned. Sophie and Dex throw him out and let him light leap away, in exchange Brant tells them that the Neverseen know about the ambush. Dex removes the Ability Restrictor, so Sophie can teleport on Mount Everest and warn them.
Sophie has no appropriate clothing, but Mr. Forkle can save her. She tells them that the Neverseen are aware of the planned ambush. During the fight, Sandor falls of the edge and is severely wounded, but Black Swan is able to capture Gethen. After the fight, Sophie, Fitz, Biana and Keefe bring Sandor to Elwin. After this, Sophie, Dex, Fitz, Biana and Keefe decide to join Black Swan.
== Book 4: Neverseen ==
Before they leave, councillor Oralie gives Sophie Kenric’s cache, a gadget the councillor’s use to hide their most important secrets, and tells her to exchange it for her freedom, should the High Council capture her. After this, Sophie, Fitz, Biana, Keefe and Dex teleport to Italy, Della, the mother of Fitz and Biana secretly follows them to join Black Swan too. They meet Mr. Forkle and go to Alluveterre, where they swear loyalty to Black Swan.
A plague is spreading among the gnomes, Sophie and Biana go to Brackendale with the gnome Calla to investigate. They meet a psionipath from the Neverseen and find out that he attended Exillium, a school for elvin children who broke the law, and that the Neverseen have something to do with the plague. Mr. Forkle decides to visit Gethen with Sophie and Keefe to get information from him. They find out that the next step of the Neverseen will take place in Merrowmarsh.
Black Swan wants to free Prentice from the Exile, but are ambushed by the High Council. Sophie threatens to give Kenric’s cache to the gnomes, should the councillors not let them go. In the end, they agree to exchange Prentice against Gethen and that Sophie and her friends are sent to Exillium. Sophie tries to heal Prentice, but his mind shows no reaction. Mr. Forkle takes Edaline to Alluveterre to show Sophie how she can hide the cache in the void and get it back by saying a password.
In Exiilium, Sophie meets the twins Tam and Linh Song. After she gains their trust, they tell her that they saw Councillors and overheard that the High Council knew about the plague but didn’t warn the gnomes. Back in Alluveterre, Silveny telepathically tells Sophie that she is pregnant. Sophie calls Oralie to tell her about it and explains how neglected Exillium is. After this, the school gets new equipment, more food and the coaches become way more friendly. Coach Rohana tells Sophie that the name of the psionipath is Ruy Ignis. Reading his file, they find out that he was banished because of irredeemable actions, a judgement not made lightly.
Sophie, Fitz, Biana, Della, Dex and Keefe go to an official statement from the High Council in disguise. The councillors explain that the ogres caused the plague and that they never told the gnomes of this danger is because the gnome’s leader took the promise from the Council to never tell it to avoid panic, before they died. After this, Dimitar and Fintan appear and confess that they have spreaded the plague and demand the gnomes to become slaves if they want the cure.
Sophie, Fitz, Biana, Keefe and Dex decide to go to Ravagog, the capital city of the ogres to steal the cure, to stay unnoticed they need the help of Calla, Tam, Linh and Alvar Vacker, the brother of Fitz and Biana. Calla leads them trough a secret tunnel into Ravagog, Tam and Linh use their power to hide the group and Alvar leads them to Dimitar’s throne room. Keefe distracts the king while Sophie and Fitz read his mind, this time without being noticed due to their improved telepathic skills, and realize that the cure is a hoax. Their plan fails and they have to flee, Linh causes an enormous flood wave that destroys the gates of Ravagog and flushes them out of the city.
They are catched by Fintan and Brant and Alvar reveals himself as part of the Neverseen, but they escape with Calla’s help. Calla has realized that she can cure the gnomes by sacrificing herself and becoming a panakes tree. Sophie convinces the High Council to let the alicorns go so they can take care of themselves. After that, Keefe tells her that he has something to do and takes out a yellow leaping crystal. Sophie realizes that he wants to go back to the ogre cities and tries to stop him and they both leap to a lake. Fintan, Brant and Alvar appear, because Keefe wants to infiltrate the Neverseen. Keefe figured out the password for the cache and gives it to Alvar, to make them trust him. Brant wants Keefe to brand Sophie but instead he helps her escape.
== Book 5: Lodestar ==
Keefe lures Sophie into the office of Magnate Leto and tells her that they plan something with Grady and Edaline. The goblins Brielle and Cadoc are assigned to them as bodyguards. Sophie and Fitz explore Prentice mind and find the Lodestar Symbol. Keefe warns Sophie that the Neverseen want to kidnap Grady and Edaline when she talked to him telepathically. They improve their security measures and send Sophie to Dex’ house. But the Neverseen kidnapped Wylie Endal out of the silver tower of the Foxfire Academy and interrogated him about his mother’s death, who faded after an unsuccessful light leap. Wylie escapes and tells Sophie that he doesn’t believe anymore that his mother’s death was an accident.
Sophie meets with councillor Oralie and asks her to arrange a meeting with Gethen in the prison of Lumenaria to retrieve information about Cyrah Endal from him. Sophie and Fitz find a message from Keefe to meet him and Keefe shows Sophie a memory where his mother takes him to her Nightfall facility and uses his blood to seal it. Oralie was able to arrange a meeting with Gethen for Sophie and Mr. Forkle. Oralie also tells them that Sophie can take part at a peace summit with Edaline. Keefe found out that the Lodestar Symbol is a code that leads to the Neverseen hideouts. Dex is able to decode it, but they need a Lodestar device to use it.
Sophie, Oralie and Mr. Forkle meet Gethen and lie to him by telling him that Wylie would still be kidnapped to get information from him. They offer him to improve his situation in the prison, if he tells them, where Wylie could be captive, but he refuses and instead asks them if the peace summit already took place. Sophie replies No and Gethen tells her that Cyrah Endal had something to do with the Neverseen. Sophie and Sandor go back to Havenfield, which has been attacked by ogres during their absence. Grady and Edaline escaped, but one of their goblin bodyguards was killed. Later, Sophie agrees that Mr. Forkle triggers her ability of enhancing.
Meanwhile, Tam and Biana have figured out that the Neverseen came into the silver tower to kidnap Wylie, because one of the mirrors has a room behind it with a Lodestar Device in it. They accidentally activate it and Sophie, Tam and Fitz are brought to a hideout, where they are discovered by Ruy, Brant, Alvar and Keefe. Sophie and Tam are able to take them out, but Keefe takes Alvar and goes back to the Neverseen to infiltrate them again. Sophie calls the Alicorns to take Ruy and Brant back with them and the High Council locks them in Lumenaria.
Sophie and Edaline go to the peace summit and Fintan gets the permission to also take part. When the summit is almost over, Sophie realizes that Gethen wants to use his powers to destroy Lumenaria with the High Council inside it while Ruy protects them with a force field. She warns Mr. Forkle and leaves her room to search for her mother. Together they leave the collapsing fortress and Sophie sees the Neverseen escaping. Keefe, who has left the Neverseen, tells her that Oralie and Mr. Forkle are still missing and they go back into Lumenaria to find them. Mr. Forkle got deadly wounded by Gethen but Brant was killed by a crashing down chunk of the ceiling.
A few days later, Keefe has the theory that the Neverseen aren’t after Grady and Edaline, but after Sophie’s former human family. Sophie light leaps to their house with Fitz, Keefe, Alden, Sandor and Grizel, but only Amy is there.
== Book 6: Nightfall ==
Amy’s memories on Sophie have returned and she tells them that the Neverseen took their parents to Nightfall to find out, why Black Swan chose them. They take Amy to the apartment of Quinlin and Livvy Sonden in Atlantis and Sophie tells her everything. The next day, Sophie and Keefe call Lady Gisela to find out how they can find Nightfall. She tells them that they need a certain starstone to light leap to Nightfall that is now owned by king Dimitar. Lady Gisela demands that Sophie and Keefe deliver him a message in exchange for information about Nightfall’s security measures and Cyrah’s death.
Lady Cadence and Blur take them to Ravagog, where King Dmitar challenges Keefe to a fight that Keefe wins. So Dimitar gives them the starstone and allocates his daughter, Princess Ro, as bodyguard for Keefe. While Keefe recovers from his wounds, Sophie and Fitz call Lady Gisela, who tells them that she created three hybrids which she calls Gorgodons and whose sense of smell can only be outsmarted with Everblaze ash. Sophie goes to Nightfall with Biana, Tam and Marella, who has manifested as pyrokinetic, but they find Nightfall empty and the bones of the burned Gorgodons. Only Alvar is there, but he was numbed with Soporidine, an incredibly strong sedative, and severely wounded, so they take him to Choralmere, Tam’s former home.
Sophie and Fitz talk with Lady Gisela again and she tells them that she forced Cyrah Endal to make starstones she can use to light leap to different places . But before she could get the last starstone, Fintan found out and was worried that Cyrah knows that Lady Gisela is part of the Neverseen. So he sent Gethen to kill Cyrah, who distracted her when she was going to light leap, causing Cyrah to loose concentration and fade. Lady Gisela also tells them that Fintan brought Sophie’s parents to the original Nightfall in Atlantis built by Vespera Folend and that the entrance is marked with the Nightfall symbol. After that, Sophie is finally able to heal Prentice.
Keefe’s father, Cassius Sencen, tells them that he found the Nightfall symbol at a well in Atlantis. Sophie, Fitz, Keefe, Biana, Tam, Linh, Dex, Grady, Marella, Sandor, Grizel and Ro break into Vespera’s Nightfall facility, which entrance is at the bottom of the well. Fintan and vespera awaited them and one of the Gorgodons was kept alive to keep watch over Sophie’s parents. Grady can mesmerize Fintan and make him knock himself out, whereupon Vespera releases the Gorgodon, but Grady can mesmerize it too as Sophie enhanced him. Sandor and Grizel leave Nightfall with Sophie’s parents, while Grady and Marella follow Fintan. Biana heard Vespera saying that she is leaving Nightfall to meet Ruy. Fitz and Dex carry Biana to Livvy Sonden, because she was badly wounded by Vespera, while the others follow Vespera.
They find Vespera with Ruy and Lady Gisela, who orders Ruy to destroy the force field that protects Atlantis before light leaping away with Ruy and Vespera. With Sophie and Keefe enhancing Linh’s ability, she is able to protect Atlantis from the water until the Psionipaths arrive and recreate the force field. The memories of her parents on Sophie and the abduction are erased again, to spare them from the trauma, but Amy is allowed to keep her memories. Fintan is imprisoned in a cell of ice and Alvar finally awakes, but he has lost all of his memories.
