Dark, visionary, and unsettlingly human.
Colleen’s taut, emotionally charged eco-thriller turns the climate crisis into a psychological reckoning. Five of the world’s richest men awaken in captivity and find themselves stripped of power and control. Their captors, a clandestine group of women led by Mel, a grief-hardened psychotherapist, believe salvation lies in psychedelic therapy, not violence. Their mission: dismantle ego, confront greed, and force these men to face the devastation they’ve unleashed on the planet.
Colleen’s writing is clean, tense, and deeply visual. The sterile setting hums with quiet dread, while the psychedelic moments push reality to its limits. Through the chaos, the novel stays rooted in emotion: Mel’s pain and discipline, Josh’s slow loss of control. What makes the novel stand out is its honesty: Colleen doesn’t turn her captors into heroes or her billionaires into villains. Through their tense exchanges, she exposes how blurred the line becomes between punishment and redemption, and how uncertain the idea of change really is. A darkly compelling story that tests the idea of redemption and the human will to evolve. A must-read for lovers of smart, idea-driven thrillers and morally complex characters.
