It can write the story of your future… and hide the secrets of your past.
Phoenix Books Burlington is thrilled to host beloved Vermont author Margot Harrison to launch her new book, The Library of Fates! Books, romance, fantasy, and fate intertwine in this mesmerizing novel. Margot will be in conversation with local bookstagrammer @hviareadsbooks!
Margot Harrison is the author of The Midnight Club, The Library of Fates, and four young adult thrillers, including an Indies Introduce Pick, two Junior Library Guild selections, and two Vermont Book Award finalists. Her award-winning book and film reviews have appeared in Seven Days and the New York Times. She grew up in New York and now lives in Vermont.
About the book:
When its librarian keeper mysteriously dies, two former classmates must race to locate a rare book from their college years that can foretell your future if you confess a secret from your past--but someone is intent on protecting what's hidden inside.
It can write the story of your future... and hide the secrets of your past
The Library of Fates was designed to show you who you are--and who you could become. Its rarest book, The Book of Dark Nights, holds a secret: when you write an intimate confession on its pages, you'll receive a prediction for your future, penned in your own handwriting.
For Eleanor, whose childhood was defined by a senseless tragedy, the library offers a world where everything makes sense. She's spent most of her life there as an apprentice to the brilliant librarian, showing other people how to find the meaning of their lives in stories.
But when her mentor dies in a freak accident and The Book of Dark Nights goes missing--along with the secrets written inside--Eleanor is pulled out of the library and into a quest to locate it with the last person she expects: the librarian's estranged son, Daniel, who Eleanor once loved.
Together, as they hunt down clues from Harvard to Paris, Eleanor and Daniel grow closer again, regaining each other's trust. But little do they know that they're entangled in a much larger web. Someone else wants the book, and they'll go to dark lengths to get it...
