In the mountains of Portugal lies a convent where no prayer is spoken aloud. The sisters live in silence, their vows unbroken, their lips sealed to the world.
When Father Gabriel is sent by the Vatican to investigate disturbing rumors of unrest, he expects superstition, whispers, perhaps hysteria. What he finds is something far older-and far darker.
The walls breathe with voices that should not exist. Prayers are swallowed before they reach the air. The sisters' devotion hides scars, carvings, and wounds that speak of an ancient bargain: Tacere est servire. To be silent is to serve.
Amid the crumbling stones and blood-stained rosaries, Sister Caterina fights for her soul as silence seeps into her very body, twisting her prayers into mockery. Gabriel, torn between faith and doubt, uncovers a secret Rome buried centuries ago: the convent was never a sanctuary. It was a prison.
Now the silence is breaking loose. And it has found a new vessel.
-"In the convent of silence, prayers are devoured. And the walls are listening."
