The Refuge

At a sanctuary for the abused, a woman works to protect others—but after her psychologically damaged sister arrives, she may need rescuing herself . . .

Mel thought she was safe after the fall of the Brotherhood, but her peace is shattered when her long-lost sister Jess is found. Escaping a nine-year captivity, Jess seeks refuge in the abbey with Mel, her husband Mark, and their newborn daughter Emma.

As Mel struggles with the guilt of her past and turns the abbey into a safe haven for abuse victims, Jess battles haunting memories and an addiction to self-harm. And when the sisters discover Jess's abductor is still hunting her, the abbey's sanctuary becomes a prison of heightened security and mounting tension.

Mark grows increasingly volatile, while Jess fights her demons with the help of new friends. But when Mel and baby Emma go missing, the pair must confront their darkest fears to survive. Will Jess risk everything to save her family? And can the residents of the abbey face their greatest challenge yet—rebuilding their lives while grappling with the scars of the past?

Part psychological thriller, part dark family drama, The Refuge is a suspenseful and emotionally powerful novel of survival and healing from the author of The Brotherhood.

This book contains themes of abuse and self-harm.
