The Circle

The Masked and the Marked (The Circle Series, Book 1)

By: Lillian Monroe

Narrated by: Sarah Sun Park

They were once untouchable—eight friends bound by pleasure, privilege, and a pact no one dared break. Behind silk masks and whispered dares, they shared everything. Secrets. Lovers. Lies. Until one of them disappeared. Ten years later, their past comes roaring back—one body at a time. Lennox Alderidge is found murdered, a symbol scrawled beside him that hasn’t been seen since the night everything fell apart. The Circle—fractured by betrayal and silence—must reunite to uncover the truth. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize: The masks they wore never truly came off. And someone has been watching. Waiting. Marking them one by one. As old desires resurface and hidden sins burn through their perfect lives, the question shifts from who did this——to who will survive it.
