About this title

Review

."..Dart-Thornton has crafted an impressive start to an epic journey down the corridors of myth and legend....This isn't a fairy tale wrapped up with a happily-ever-after, but readers looking for an intense and old-fashioned magical world will eagerly anticipate the next step in the journey."--"Romantic Times BookClub Magazine" on "The Iron Tree" "Endowing her characters with courtly yet bucolic diction, almost Elizabethan, and casting her narrative in clean yet poetic prose, Dart-Thornton conjures up her world of Tir and its rituals and beliefs in the luminous yet hard-edged manner of Jack Vance or Mary Gentle."--"The ""Washington"" Post" on "The Iron Tree" "The first "Crowthistle" volume is a leisurely paced romance of extraordinary events. One can almost hear Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov or Erich Wolfgang Korngold's music in the background as Jarred tries to free himself from the clinging skeleton or takes the lovely Lilith in his arms. With scenes as vivid as any Technicolor extravaganza, "The Iron Tree "will capture readers' imaginations."--"Starlog "on" The Iron Tree"
