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.
 

Perfect for readers who love:
• Dark YA thrillers
• Psychological mind games
• Twisty island settings
• Morally gray characters
• Romance under pressure

Because on this island, survival is only the beginning.

"Captivating, chilling, and very mysterious. You will find yourself holding your breath. I truly wasn't sure what was going to happen but let's just say it will blow you away!"--Southermermaid85, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ 

"Awesome series!! Could not put the books down!"--Kris MacGillivray, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ 

"This story had me in a roller coaster of emotions and worries. I was constantly in edge thinking what will happen? Is this real or part of the therapy. Eva did a wonderful job keeping me on my toes and making my mind work on overdrive. So many references from studies I myself have looked into. I loved!"--Mariela, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ 

"This novel was spooky and eerily entertaining. Pohler's phenomenal descriptions of the natural world leave you breathless while her fantastically imaginative storytelling keep you hooked."--Jonel, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ 

"For fans of Eva Pohler's other series The Purgatorium is quite different; there is nothing supernatural here, merely psychological which has the ability to simultaneously unsettle a reader and force you to keep reading. There is a sense of schadenfreude in elements of this series which made me stop and think about at what point does the end justify the means; this is a great takeaway from the books and will leave the reader questioning the ethics of psychology."--Tamara, Amazon Reviewer★★★★★

The psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Shutter Island and Sanitorium and for readers of Helen Fields, J.M. Cannon, and Frieda McFadden.
