Sigil (audio story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Sigil was the seventy-fourth story in the Torchwood - Monthly Range by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Ash Darby.
Publisher's summary
Sam has been haunted for years by the Sigil. She’s drawn the pattern since she was a child, she has a tattoo of it, she sells prints of it. Then one day, she sees it on a statue in the window of Bilis Manger's shop. It turns out the Sigil is very old indeed.
Why has it been haunting her? Why is it on a Celtic statue of a bird? Where did it come from? Has a terrible entity been released from its ancient slumber?
