Sally Altass Review: 5 Stars: Nothing is simple and straightforward. The story twists and turns and throws curve balls that even the most ardent mystery reader wouldn't expect.
Her fate rests with the map...
Melanie Simpson's world is falling apart. Her mother is near death, and her fragile relationship with her boyfriend, Frankie, swings between hope and heartbreak. Struggling to balance love, loss, and betrayal, Melanie fears which will ultimately win out.
Then an unexpected person enters her life, changing it forever. Faced with the possibility of leaving home and losing her closest friends, Melanie is thrust into a whirlwind of choices and truths she isn't ready to face.
Through all of this, she is determined to continue her late father's quest, searching for the Orb, a mysterious device gifted to him by an alien being. Her journey leads to a professor in Seattle, and a film showing her father using the Orb to project a hologram of the sixteenth-century Map of Orbis Terrarum, revealing energy points across the globe, clues her father was tirelessly investigating. Could this map hold the key to her destiny?
As Melanie draws closer to the truth, danger and destruction follow her. With each step, she uncovers layers of her destiny, propelling her down a path where the stakes are life and death. Melanie's journey is far from over -- and its twists will leave readers breathless.
This is Book Two of the Melanie Simpson Mystery Series and follows the prequel, The Roswell Quest, and Book One, The Tale of the Tarot.

Praise for Book One, The Tale of the Tarot:
Reedsy Reviewer, Sally Altass wrote: 5-Stars. An exciting teenage thriller set in the 1960s. Spies, UFOs, cover-ups, and much more. There's a rising tension throughout the book, and the ending had me gasping for breath.
