The Iron Tree

Once upon this disaster called life I read a book called The Iron Tree.

Amazing... Purely amazing...
Okay, so it was pretty long and the events are miniscule but it's so descriptive and intriguing and if the author ever reads this, CONGRATULATIONS.

Anyways, definately you should read it if you ever get the chance. And I'm sure the second one, The Well of Tears, will be just as good. I haven't bought the third yet, though I will as soon as I finish reading these two.

Oh, a lil bout the plot:
It's a romantic adventure fantasy. It's amazing and romantic and adventurous and just o'erwhelming. They sorta kinda speak in old english, so some sentences I have to read over once or twice before I understand it or absorb the full scenery. But it's truly amazing. This couple falls in love, then they find out that the female is cursed through an ancient family curse. So, they cannot marry. And they go to this annual Autumn fair and the husband finds this old man who describes to him how the curse came about. Then they find out that Jarred (the main character) is the grandson of the Sorceror that put the curse on Lilith(wife)'s family. :O. Shocking right. But they end up getting married... The curse seems to be avoided until the end. The King finds out and wants Jarred to open this old palace thing but he doesn't want to cause its evil. So they run away, oh, he has a daughter named Jewel and Lilith's step-brother and Jarred share a horrible hatred for one another. Lilith is frightened into the madness by the King's men chasing them into the marsh, their home, and falls off a clif. Jarred tries to rescue her and dies. Jewel goes away with her step-uncle and try to run to safety. End of book 1.

CONCLUSION: READ IT!!!!
