Some houses remember. And some doors were never meant to open.

When Belladona Ashbourne inherits the crumbling Umbracrest Abbey, she finds more than silence behind its walls. A staircase that vanishes into shadow. A raven that seems to watch her. A key with no known lock—and no explanation.

As rooms shift and forgotten symbols rise, Belladona begins to unravel a legacy buried beneath dust and denial. The Abbey doesn’t just hold secrets—it keeps them.

This slow burn gothic mystery blends psychological gothic fiction with haunted house suspense and symbolic riddles, perfect for readers drawn to dark atmospheric books, eerie inheritances, and stories where memory and time twist together.

Enter Umbracrest—but tread carefully.

Not everything hidden wants to be found.
