The Black Robe

In Wilkie Collins's 1881 novel, The Black Robe, Lewis Romayne returns to Vange Abbey haunted by the memories of a fatal duel in France. Seeking to move on, he travels to London where he meets Stella Eynecourt, his future wife, but soon finds himself entangled with the devious Father Benwell, who aims to convert him to Catholicism and reclaim the abbey for the Church. Father Benwell's relentless pursuit and the unveiling of dark secrets from Romayne's past create a tension reminiscent of Collins's famed villain, Count Fosco, from The Woman in White. This multi-voice audiobook production features a talented cast of actors, bringing the story to life.
