About this audiobook
A dying artist.
A haunted nun.
A church that should have stayed buried.
The year is 1898, and famed painter Anthony Toyner knows his time is running out. Determined to leave behind one final masterpiece, he travels to the eerie coastal town of Crowford, drawn by whispers of inspiration – and shadowed by something far darker.
At a quiet public house, Toyner crosses paths with Sister Elsa Farr, a secretive nun with a mysterious past. Every night, she disappears into the darkness, returning bloodied and broken – and refusing to say why. Her obsession lies with the ruins of an abandoned church just beyond the town’s edge, a place with a horrifying reputation. Decades ago, an entire village was swallowed by something evil that now waits beneath the crumbling stone.
As Toyner seeks the perfect subject for his last painting, he’s pulled deeper into Sister Elsa’s terrifying mission. The closer he gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes: this church does not forgive trespassers... and some creations are cursed from the very first brushstroke.
What really happened in the lost village?
Why does Elsa risk everything to return to the church night after night?
And what secrets are hidden in the painting that will hang in a gallery a century later... dripping with death?
A haunted nun.
A church that should have stayed buried.
