About this listen

You don’t choose them. They choose you.

Sofia has just finished university and ended a troubled relationship when she attends a lecture about a New Age movement, Via Terra. Its leader is Franz Oswald, young, good-looking, urbane and mesmerizing.

When Sofia meets Franz Oswald, the handsome, charming leader of a mysterious New Age movement, she’s dazzled and intrigued. Visiting his headquarters on Fog Island, Sofia’s struck by the beautiful mansion overlooking the sea, the gardens, the sense of peace and the purposefulness of the people who live there. And she can’t ignore the attraction she feels for Franz.

So she agrees to stay, just for a while. But as summer gives way to winter, and the dense fog from which the island draws its name sets in, it becomes clear that Franz rules the island with an iron fist. No phones or computers are allowed. Contact with the mainland is severed. Electric fences surround the grounds. And Sofia begins to realize how very alone she is and that no one ever leaves Fog Island

Flowers in the Attic meets The Girls, Fog Island is a gripping combination of fear, sexual tension and lethal fascination.

‘An interesting exposition of the psychology and the insidious methods that govern cults’ Daily Mail

"Chillingly authentic." (The Guardian)

"An intense, terrifying, and utterly believable journey into the shadowy world of cult leaders and cult members. A just-one-more-page thriller that will have you reading late into the night and holding your breath until the very end. I loved it!" (Karen Dionne, internationally best-selling author of Home)

Thrilling and captivating

You go through waves of emotion reading this book not least a certain amount of anger at some people’s ability to control the mind of others. It may be a work of fiction for many people this is reality. Well written!

A gripping but uncomfortable read at times

I enjoyed this book but found it difficult to listen to at times (which is what I imagine the author wants you to feel) Sofias journey is very compelling and you want to shake her and tell her to wake up! Certainly this book gave me an insight into how people become entrenched in situations such as this with no way out.

Dare to visit!

This was my first audio book and I did struggle to get into it at first, but, once I got used to it, I was hooked. A great novel full of suspense.
