Synopsis
Jarred, recently come of age, is leaving the sun-scorched desert village that has always been his home. He sets out with a band of friends to see the mighty and beautiful kingdom of the north and to seek out the truth about his father, who came to the village a stranger and departed when Jarred was ten, never to return.
After the travellers are set upon in a ravine and several of their number sustain injuries, they seek shelter in the Marsh of Slievmordhu – a cool green world of dazzling beauty as different from their homeland as night and day. Here Jarred meets Lilith, and in a single moment he realises that his life can never be the same again. But neither of the young lovers is aware how closely linked their fates – and their past – really are. During a visit to Cathair Rua, the Red City, Jarred stumbles across the secret of the Iron Tree, and with it an unbearable truth about his father's identity...

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"
