Custody of the Soul

When Maisie Tindall, a former barista from a crumbling coastal town, marries Lord Elliott Crewe, she believes she has traded poverty for a gilded existence in his ancestral Oxfordshire estate. But her new husband, the CEO of Crewe Pharmaceuticals, systematically dismantles her mind with a designer neuroleptic. Deemed mentally incapacitated and placed under his legal conservatorship, Maisie becomes a prisoner in plain sight. As the drug-induced fog deepens, she must cling to fleeting moments of lucidity, uncovering a buried employment scandal that ties her captivity to a corporate cover-up. Escaping this gilded cage means not only reclaiming her sanity but navigating a world where the wealthy trade souls as casually as stocks, and the interest is always a lifetime of silence.
