The Silence of Graysmire

By: Jess Rae, C Elliott, J Elliott

Narrated by: Mark Silence

When Celia Vale inherits the crumbling estate of Graysmire, she expects loneliness and ruin. What she finds instead is a house that breathes in silence, watches through its walls, and whispers with the voices of the dead.

Drawn into the manor’s decayed beauty and haunted halls, Celia uncovers the truth of its hunger: a curse bound by iron, bees, and the true name of something older than the land itself. Beside her stands Ambrose Vale—brooding, grief-marked, and tied to Graysmire as much by loss as by blood. Together, they must survive a house that devours without mercy… and resist the dangerous bond growing between them.

But Graysmire does not surrender easily. It will wear the faces of the ones they loved. It will twist memory into longing. And if Celia cannot find the strength to wield the iron key and speak the name that binds it, both she and Ambrose will be consumed.

The Silence of Graysmire is a Gothic romance of ruin and survival, love forged in shadows, and two souls bound together by defiance in the face of the dark.
