Where fear is therapy—and love is the risk.
​
Daphne Janus was sent to a private island to heal.
​
Instead, she was enrolled in an experiment.
​
At The Purgatorium, grief is treated as performance art. Fear is carefully staged. And Dr. Hortense Gray believes that survival is the only true cure for suicidal thoughts.
​
But the therapy crosses ethical lines.
​
And sometimes the danger is real.
​
As Daphne navigates haunted cliffs, psychological games, and a program designed to push her to the brink, she begins to question everything—her parents’ intentions, her best friend’s loyalty, and the boy who seems to understand her darkness better than anyone else.
​
Then the power shifts.
​
Daphne moves from patient to participant. From target to architect. From victim to something far more complicated.
​
And when federal agents descend on the island and the illusion shatters, Daphne must confront a devastating truth:
​
Some systems are broken.
​
Some systems are seductive.
​
And sometimes the only way to change them . . . is to join them.
​
This complete YA romance-thriller trilogy blends psychological suspense, emotional healing, moral ambiguity, and slow-burn romance in a gripping island mystery where nothing is what it seems.
