The Boundless Sublime follows the story of Ruby Jane Galbraith, a girl who feels empty and blames herself for the disintegration of her family. In the midst of her turmoil, she meets Fox, a gentle new friend who is wise, soulful, and clever, yet oddly naive about the ways of the world. Fox offers her understanding and a chance to find peace.

Fox is part of a group known as the Institute of the Boundless Sublime. Inevitably, Ruby is drawn to him and subsequently into the group's mysterious and secretive community, which is far from the ideal world she anticipated.

Throughout the gripping narrative, Ruby must confront the terrifying influences of this modern-day cult. Will she find the courage to escape? Can she save Fox as well? And is true escape ever possible from the pervasive influence of the Institute of the Boundless Sublime?

This captivating YA novel delves into the alluring yet dangerous world of cults and brainwashing. It's a searing journey that captures the struggle for identity and autonomy.

'A brilliant, searing trip into the world of cults and brainwashing. Her best book yet.' - Justine Larbalestier
