Beschreibung

Eighteen-year-old Mistral is an innocent abroad in the sophisticated Côte D’Azur, where princes and millionaires mingle in the casinos and sumptuous hotels while others plot to relieve them of their riches. Accompanied only by her embittered and domineering Aunt Emilie and kindly servant Jeanne, Mistral appears dressed all in grey like a ghost in the salons and ballrooms of Monte Carlo and sets Society’s tongues wagging. It’s not long before her waif-like beauty has men falling at the feet of Madamoiselle Fântóme – gentlemen such as Sir Robert Stanford. But on her sister’s bewildering but strict instructions, she must not converse with any but the Russian Prince Nikolai, who’s also keen to woo her, as is an opulent Indian Rajah… Something about Mistral touches Sir Robert’s heart – and he cannot understand why Mistral appears afraid to be with him. Yet both of them crave love. Only if Mistral’s innocent eyes are finally opened to the truth – that Aunt Emilie’s motives are borne not of concern for her niece but of pure evil and greed – will she find her heart’s desire…

    Sometimes, when you hear that a place has been “abandoned,” it is important to ask, “abandoned by whom?” Of course, “abandoned” is already a very loaded word to use.

A place intentionally cut off, knowingly and purposely shunned in an attempt to erase that place from memory.It is important then, to ask not only ‘who’ abandoned such a place, but also ‘why?’Particularly because the word ‘abandoned’ often means more than its few syllables convey. Often it is used as a shield. A way to not tell a story. Either because it is an embarrassing topic or because it is a memory that a person or people have chosen to put behind them...

    Step into the moss-clad hush of The Forgotten Grave, an audiobook that unearths a long-buried secret and invites you to walk among restless spirits. In this immersive tale, you’ll:
    
     
    Wander through overgrown churchyards and moonlit woods as whispers drift from an unmarked tomb, beckoning you closer.
    
     
    Piece together clues from faded gravestone inscriptions, hidden journal pages, and the faint echo of a lullaby carried on the night breeze.
    
     
    Feel the chill of unseen presences stirring beneath the earth—soft sobs among the reeds, cold drafts at your back, and the fleeting brush of spectral hands.
    
     
    Follow a determined seeker racing to break an age-old curse before the boundary between the living and the dead dissolves completely.
    
    
     
    Narrated with a haunting, intimate cadence and woven with subtle soundscapes—from the rustle of dying leaves to the distant toll of a forsaken bell—The Forgotten Grave draws you into its shrouded mystery. Press play…and dare to listen, for some secrets refuse to stay buried.
