Children of Fog Island
Bu audiokitob haqida
Sofia Bauman is living a normal life – or as close to one as she can manage. After escaping the cult surrounding the charismatic but cruel Franz Oswald fifteen years earlier, she’s found peace with her husband and their young daughter.
But when a hurricane sweeps through Sweden, it leaves a path of destruction in Sofia Bauman’s small community. The bridges are closed, trees felled, and her refuge for cult escapees is flattened.
Then Franz Oswald reaches out, offering her money she desperately needs to rebuild. But his obsession with Sofia hasn’t waned, and now he has his sights on Sofia’s teenage daughter Julia. As Julia falls under his spell, Sofia realises that the only way to keep her family safe is to confront Oswald once and for all.
