The Keystone series by Katie Delahanty is a YA dystopian duology published by Entangled Teen. Set in a near-future world where social media influence is traded like stocks, the story follows Ella Karman, a teenager who decides to walk away from her life as a high-ranking Influencer. After faking her own death, she takes on a new identity and joins the Disconnects, a group of rebels living off the grid.
Ella enrolls in Keystone, a secret school where students learn to steal analog books, art, and other physical artifacts. Someone has been altering digital history, and the only way to preserve the truth is to rescue what still exists in physical form. The series blends heist elements with questions about technology, privacy, and who controls the stories we tell about the past.
The first book, Keystone, sets up the world and Ella’s transformation from privileged Influencer to underground thief. The sequel, Incognito, continues the story as the stakes grow higher and Ella faces harder choices about loyalty and truth.
