"Gripping, compelling and otherworldly"

DAVID QUANTICK

When her twin brother goes missing in Northern California, Vivian Owens follows his trail to

the town of Mount Hookey, home to the followers of Telos: a mountain-worshipping cult that

offers spiritual fulfilment to those who seek it.

While trying to navigate the town’s bizarre inhabitants and the seductive preaching of the

initiates of Telos, Vivian will have to confront

questions about herself, her family, and everything she thinks she knows about the world. She

quickly realises that her search is about far more than her missing brother – it is a quest for

the secret of happiness itself.

To that end, there is only one question she needs to answer: what is really at the top of Mount

Hookey?
