In the mist-shrouded mountain village of Droska, the tolling of the Harrowed Bell has always guided the dead safely into the afterlife. But when the bell falls silent, the veil between worlds tears open-and the dead begin to whisper.

Anya, a mute orphan cursed to hear those whispers, has always been shunned as an outcast. Now, with her foster mother brutally slain and the village unraveling under spectral chaos, she alone holds the key to understanding the voices clawing at the edges of reality. Guided by cryptic visions, ancient maps, and the ceaseless murmurs of the dead, Anya must confront a forgotten god awakened by a broken pact.

Her path leads through haunted crypts, cursed forests, and the unraveling sanity of her neighbors, as every step brings her closer to the altar of a deity that demands sacrifice. The fate of Droska-and perhaps the world beyond-rests on her silent shoulders.

Atmospheric, gothic, and unrelenting, The Harrowed Bell is a chilling dark fantasy perfect for fans of Katherine Arden's The Bear and the Nightingale and Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House. Step into Droska, if you dare-but remember, once the bell is silent, nothing can keep the dead from rising.

Marin Blackthorn writes tales where myth bleeds into reality and memory becomes a battleground. Known for his lyrical prose and atmospheric world-building, Blackthorn crafts deeply emotional journeys set against backdrops of ancient powers, crumbling empires, and forgotten gods. His debut novel, Eater of Storms, introduced readers to a world on the brink of annihilation, where a disgraced priestess becomes the key to either salvation or total ruin. The critically acclaimed The Widow of the Weeping Fjord continues his exploration of grief, sacrifice, and divine mystery, following a widow's descent into myth and madness beneath the waves. Marin's upcoming novel, The Harrowed Bell, is a haunting gothic fantasy set in a village silenced by its own secrets and threatened by a forgotten god, continuing his signature blend of dark folklore, spectral whispers, and quiet defiance. Blackthorn lives where the sky is gray more often than blue, finding inspiration in the hush of ancient forests, the chill of the sea wind, and the stories no one dares to tell aloud.
