About this audiobook
They buried their grief. The land buried them back.
In three unforgettable tales of rustic terror, Mary Howard invites you into isolated villages where ancient bargains were never broken—only forgotten. The Lantern-Born follows a surveyor who discovers that the mountain's widows have been feeding their stillborn daughters to candle flames for nine winters. The Swaddling Pit sends a young priest to a chapel where moss grows teeth and the earth beneath offers a terrible trade: one infant's warmth for the valley's survival. The Twelfth Ploughman drags a traveler into a midnight furrow where straw hides human skin and the harvest requires twelve souls—no more, no less. The land remembers every promise. And it always collects.
