About the book

A spoiler-light introduction.

Three hundred years ago, Harthollow burned a woman alive and distributed the guilt so widely that no single household had to carry it. The village survived by turning murder into custom, then custom into history.

When every hearth begins to testify, old ash becomes evidence. The First Tithe is the gothic folk-horror prequel to Harthollow, a novel of cursed inheritance, erased women, village secrets and justice that has waited longer than the living can comfortably explain.
