Altar of Tradition is a collection of ten stories told in seamlessly woven prose. They explore a myriad of themes such as love, loss, sexual abuse and the shackles of tradition in the face of modernity. There is a story about a young girl whose life takes a traumatic turn after being a victim of sexual assault; another about a community who are forced out of their homes on Christmas eve by a horde of blood thirsty, gun wielding assailants, and another about a widow who has to swear before an ancient shrine to prove her innocence in her husband's death. When her detractors start to fall ill shortly after, people begin to wonder, could it be justice of the gods or something more sinister at work?
