The chairs around me are filled with men: short, tall, fat, bald, polite, skeptical. I STAND AT the head of the conference table. But she’s about to learn that Wisewood won’t let either of them go without a fight.

Panicked, Natalie hurries north to come clean to her sister and bring her home. Six months later, Natalie receives a menacing email from a Wisewood account threatening to reveal the secret she’s been keeping from Kit.

Natalie thinks it’s a bad idea, but Kit has had enough of her sister’s cynicism and voluntarily disappears off the grid. But the rules are for a good reason: to keep guests focused on achieving true fearlessness so they can become their Maximized Selves. During this time, they’re prohibited from contact with the rest of the world-no Internet, no phones, no exceptions. On a private island off the coast of Maine, Wisewood’s guests commit to six-month stays. She told Natalie she was sure there was something more out there. The last time they spoke, Kit was slogging from mundane workdays to obligatory happy hours to crying in the shower about their dead mother. Natalie Collins hasn’t heard from her sister in more than half a year. We’ll keep your secrets if you keep ours. From the national and USA TODAY bestselling author of Darling Rose Gold comes a dark, thrilling novel about two sisters-one trapped in the clutches of a cult, the other in a web of her own lies.
