About this audiobook
When widowed restorer Clara Vane arrives at the storm-lashed Saint Orison’s Abbey, she expects a difficult restoration project and little more. Instead, she finds a sealed chapel containing two altars — one consecrated to God, and another tied to a hidden marriage rite generations of women were never meant to survive.
As Clara uncovers erased bridal names beneath the chapel walls and strange vows buried within ancient prayer books, the abbey begins offering her impossible comforts: the voice of her dead husband, the warmth of his wedding ring, and the promise that grief itself can be undone. But Saint Orison’s was built on older foundations than faith, and the Ashcombe family has spent centuries feeding widows to a vow that refuses to die.
Now Clara must decide whether love is worth surrendering herself forever — or whether the dead only return wearing the faces grief most wants to trust.
