Summary

Book 1: FI (PHI)

Can Manay is a celebrity psychotherapist (picture a sexy Turkish cross between Dr. Phil and Christian Grey) - and a psychopath. Can lives his life according to the artistic rule of Phi. When he lays eyes on Duru - a beautiful and fragile ballerina who he believes encapsulates Phi - Can develops a mind-blowing compulsion to steal her away from her fiancé, Deniz, a brilliant musician, and take complete control over her life.

Meanwhile, Özge, a fearless young journalist keen on making a difference, has uncovered disturbing dark secrets buried in Can's past. When she has a chance to interview Can, she makes the bold choice to confront him about his sordid secrets, resulting in Can's wrath. Can vows to ruin her life and has her both fired and blacklisted in the industry. Except Özge isn't going to surrender - she connects with the mysterious media mogul Sadik to take down Can.

Bilge is Can's student. She's quiet, calm, and analytical. After her mother's suicide, she takes on a big responsibility: to care for her autistic brother, Dogru. After becoming Can's assistant, Bilge begins to exert an influence on Can - she is one of the few people who is able to see past his celebrity and to challenge him intellectually. But Bilge must also find a way to protect and care for her brother.

An ensemble novel with threads of psychological thriller, philosophical musings, graphic sexual content, secret wellness retreats, and artistic competition all tied together.
