The Stranger has been welcomed within the monastery walls, but her arrival has unsettled more than the brothers are willing to admit.

As Nia Vaughan continues her research into the island's forgotten past, strange discoveries begin to emerge from the ancient stone. Whispers of old warnings, hidden histories and long-buried truths suggest that Ynys Mynach has been guarding more than a simple monastic tradition.

Some echoes refuse to remain silent.

Echoes in Stone is the second chapter of The Ninth Bell, a six-part gothic horror audio drama written by P. H. Rowe.
