About this audiobook
The bells of Saint Odran’s still ring across the mountain — though the tower has stood empty for eleven years.
Brother Anselm is the last living monk within the ruined monastery of Saint Odran’s, a forgotten sanctuary buried above the clouds where silence has become holier than truth. Bound by an ancient vow after a winter of death and confession, he tends the abandoned halls alone while the mountain slowly closes around him.
But when the broken monastery bell rings again from an empty tower, Saint Odran’s begins to wake.
Candles burn where no hand has touched them. Refectories prepare meals for dead brethren. Hidden chambers reopen beneath the chapel floor. Beneath the monastery lies the terrible secret.
As the voices of the dead rise through the stone halls, Brother Anselm must confront the vow that kept him alive and the horrifying truth buried beneath Saint Odran’s altar.
Some vows are spoken to God.
Others are heard by the dead.
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
