About this audiobook
Some prayers are never meant to be answered.
When Abbot Severin Vale returns to the ruined Saint Orison Abbey to prepare it for dissolution, he expects decay, political scrutiny, and the burden of old failures. Instead, he finds whispering corridors, bells that ring without hands, and a forbidden manuscript that should have burned twelve years earlier.
As ancient rituals awaken beneath the abbey choir, Severin uncovers the horrifying truth buried beneath Saint Orison’s stones: generations of monks made secret bargains with something that answered their prayers from below. Now the abbey remembers him — and it refuses to let its final keeper leave unanswered.
Steeped in Gothic atmosphere, monastic dread, forbidden religious horror, and psychological supernatural terror, The Abbey That Prayed Back is a chilling descent into corrupted faith, sacred hunger, and the terrible intimacy between devotion and damnation.
Some prayers rise to heaven.
Others wait beneath the floor.
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
