About this audiobook
Saint Orison’s Abbey was never abandoned. It was waiting beneath the floorboards.
When restoration architect Mara Vale arrives at the storm-battered abbey on the coast of Thornmere, she expects collapsing masonry, water damage, and the difficult work of preserving a dying ruin. Instead, she discovers impossible measurements, sealed crypt passages, and evidence of a hidden chamber beneath the abbey — a second basement erased from every official plan.
As Mara descends deeper into Saint Orison’s buried architecture, she uncovers the horrifying history of nuns sealed alive beneath the crossing centuries earlier, along with a design that seems to grow stronger each time it is measured, mapped, or understood. The abbey does not merely haunt its visitors. It recruits them.
The Choir Beneath Saint Orison’s is a slow-burning Gothic horror tale of living ruins, buried guilt, architectural obsession, and the terrible cost of completing what should have been left unfinished.
Isolde Ravenscar crafts haunting tales steeped in shadow, memory, and the quiet dread that lingers long after the final word. Drawing on a lifelong fascination with Gothic literature and the eerie beauty of forgotten places, her stories explore isolation, obsession, and the fragile line between the living and the lost. When not writing, she wanders mist-laced landscapes and crumbling architecture in search of inspiration for her next unsettling tale.View all by Isolde Ravenscar
