The Ashgrove Covenant is a gothic murder mystery steeped in fog, folklore, and the quiet menace of a village that knows how to keep its secrets.
When journalist Clara Whitcombe steps off the train into Brackenford, she expects superstition and small-town hysteria, the kind of story London readers love to sneer at from a safe distance. But the North York Moors don't offer quaint distractions. They offer silence, watchful faces, and a disappearance no one seems eager to solve.
As another body is found and whispers of an ancient Spring Choosing grow louder, Clara is pulled into a world of masked processions, coded parish records, and a fertility ritual twisted into something lethal. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that this isn't just fear of old gods, but the careful manufacture of belief, used as a weapon to control a community from the inside out.
And when Clara uncovers a link to her own family, the investigation stops being a story she's writing... and becomes a legacy she may never escape.
Dark, unsettling, and razor-sharp, The Ashgrove Covenant is a tale of ritual and reason, inheritance and power, and what happens when the past isn't dead, only waiting.
