When historian Clara Hayes accepts a quiet post at the long-abandoned caretaker's cottage beside Raven Hollow Chapel, she seeks solitude. What she finds instead is a place where silence has weight, the past has teeth, and sorrow echoes long after the dead have gone.
Every night at precisely 2:17 a.m., the chapel bell tolls once. But there is no bell in the tower?only dust, shadow, and a history no one dares speak aloud. As Clara begins to unravel forgotten parish records and unmailed confessions, she discovers the chapel holds more than legend?it holds the voices of the unforgiven.
Drawn deeper into the mystery, Clara's own past begins to bleed into the stone walls. The unresolved disappearance of her fiancé. The silence she once chose. And the sound of the bell that may not just be summoning ghosts, but calling her by name.
As truth and memory entwine, the chapel's toll grows louder. Some doors open only for those who carry regret. And some bells, once heard, never stop ringing.
Would you answer a call meant for your guilt? Or are you already too late?
