Purgatory
This Place Is Pure Hell...A Chilling Return to the Island That Should Have Stayed Forgotten
Grant Radburn swore he’d never return to the cursed island they call Purgatory. But when Devon MacArthur and his son, Paul, appear at his doorstep seeking help, Grant is drawn back into the haunting depths of Lake Superior. The island’s towering mountain and dense forests are just as he remembers—ominous and unwelcoming.
This time, however, something is different. The tolling of the bells signals a new, more sinister presence. The island isn’t as uninhabited as it seems. As Grant confronts the island’s dark secrets, he must navigate a treacherous path where survival is uncertain.
