Today we’re taking part in the blog tour for Maggie Hall’s Map of Fates, the sequel to The Conspiracy of Us. This is a high-stakes mystery/thriller that takes our main characters across the globe in their attempt to save lives and stop the conspiracy against their secret society, The Circle.
That’s how long it took for Avery West’s ordinary life to change forever: In two weeks, she discovered she was heiress to a powerful secret society known as the Circle, learned her mother was taken hostage by the Circle’s enemies, and fell for a boy she’s not allowed to love, just as she found out another was her unwelcome destiny.
Now, Avery crosses oceans in private jets to hunt for clues that will uncover the truth about the Circle, setting her mom and herself free before it’s too late. By her side are both the boys: Jack—steady, loyal, and determined to help her even at the expense of his own duty—and Stellan, whose connection to Avery grows stronger by the day despite her best intentions, making her question what she believes at every turn.
But at the end of a desperate hunt from the islands of Greece to the red carpet at Cannes comes a discovery that not only changes everything, but could bring the whole world to its knees. And now Avery is forced to face the truth: in the world of the Circle, no one is what they seem. (Goodreads)
The Circle is made up of twelve families and we get to share some exclusive information from the author about one of the families:
Melech
Based in: Israel
Motto: Only as strong as our roots
Eligible heir: Daniel Melech
Circle Fact: The Melech family expanded into what is now Israel almost immediately after the Diadochi took over from Alexander. Through generations of bloody conflict with others, inside the Circle and out, they were driven out, only to return much more recently and vow never to be removed from their territory again. Daniel Melech and his father David are known for being especially ruthless when it comes to fulfilling their objectives, and their strength and unwillingness to bend to how some think the Circle should be run in modern times has gained them many supporters.
