This striking black-and-white image captures the haunting beauty of Furness Abbey, a medieval monastery nestled in the Lake District. Sunlight beams through the ancient stone arches, illuminating the frost-kissed ground and casting long, ethereal shadows. A place of reverence, power, and forgotten stories, the abbey stands as a timeless reminder of a lost era, one that plays a pivotal role in The Mereland Chronicles. Photo taken by Paul J. Scribbans
