When Mara Venn uncovers a hidden tunnel beneath the altar of a storm-battered coastal chapel, she discovers a secret buried far deeper than forgotten graves. Behind iron gates and beneath centuries of whispered prayer waits a chamber where grief lingers, voices answer back, and the dead are never entirely silent.
As the chapel begins feeding on her loneliness and speaking in the voice of the man she lost, Mara is drawn into a terrifying inheritance passed between generations of women known only as the Listener Beneath. But something older still stirs below the chapel floor — something the church sealed away long ago and fears waking again.
Rich with Gothic atmosphere, haunted confession, religious dread, and psychological supernatural horror, The Listener Beneath Saint Orison’s is a slow-burning descent into memory, loneliness, and the terrible hunger of places built on suffering.
