The Puppet Master

A mindf*ck of psychological warfare where a cults captive becomes a puppet masters endgame.

He says his job is to train me.

Miles from civilization, buried in the wooded hills of New York, lies a cult compound known as the Shadow Sanctum. Sawyer Hansley—a man whos made a career out of conditioning women into obedience—is their newest weapon.

When I wake up alone in a cold, dark cave, he tells me the cult has claimed me as their next member.

They want him to force my submission. My adoration. My obedience.

In other words: they want him to break me. And hes all too willing to oblige.

What he doesnt know? Im not like his previous victims.

By the time were through, it wont be me whos broken.
