No one joins a cult on purpose.

Emma doesn’t remember how she got to the Guild. No one will tell her. The only thing her superiors ever say is “Be Obedient.”

Emma is done with Obedience. She wants a life: friends, a boyfriend, and a family who loves her. But being in the Guild is not a choice. It’s a life sentence.

When Emma begins to rebel against the rules, Leader tightens his hold. The Guilded cage he created crashes down, forcing her to make a choice: stay and obey, or fight to get free of his far-reaching authority.

No one joins a cult on purpose, but getting out requires a strategy.

Obedience is the first novel in a dark, psychological series about coercive control and indoctrination. It investigates abuse and indoctrination from the inside. For readers drawn to cult narratives, morally complex characters, and stories that confront power without easy answers.
