Первые восемнадцать лет своей жизни Роуз Голд считала себя смертельно больной. Она практически жила в больнице, передвигалась на инвалидной коляске и почти ничего не ела. Врачи разводили руками — никто не мог понять, что происходит с девочкой. Оказывается, все это время Роуз Голд была абсолютно здорова. А вот ее мать, Пэтти Уоттс, была больна — лгунья, искусный манипулятор, она питала нездоровую страсть подливать отраву в ужин дочери. Пэтти получила по заслугам. После пяти лет тюрьмы ей некуда податься. Она просит дочь хотя бы на время приютить ее. На удивление, Роуз Голд соглашается — она давно ждала возвращения матери. Пэтти не…

Welcome to Wisewood. We’ll keep your secrets if you keep ours.

Natalie Collins hasn’t heard from her sister in more than half a year.

The last time they spoke, Kit was slogging from mundane workdays to obligatory happy hours to crying in the shower about their dead mother. She told Natalie she was sure there was something more out there.

And then she found Wisewood.

On a private island off the coast of Maine, Wisewood’s guests commit to six-month stays. During this time, they’re prohibited from contact with the rest of the world—no Internet, no phones, no exceptions. But the rules are for a good reason: to keep guests focused on achieving true fearlessness so they can become their Maximized Selves. Natalie thinks it’s a bad idea, but Kit has had enough of her sister’s cynicism and voluntarily disappears off the grid.

Six months later Natalie receives a menacing e-mail from a Wisewood account threatening to reveal the secret she’s been keeping from Kit. Panicked, Natalie hurries north to come clean to her sister and bring her home. But she’s about to learn that Wisewood won’t let either of them go without a fight.

Six months ago, Natalie's sister Kit went to Wisewood, a retreat on a secluded Maine island.
Today, Natalie receives a message:
Would you like to come tell your sister what you did - or should we?
Natalie has no choice: head to Wisewood. Rescue her younger sister. Confess the secret she's been
keeping. Stop everything unravelling.
But there's one thing she hasn't considered.
While getting on the island is difficult, getting off might be impossible . . .
