Riassunto

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...Praise for the "Bitterbynde" trilogy: 'Dart-Thornton's "Bitterbynde" trilogy - each book and all three together - deserve to win every fantasy award there is' - Tanith Lee. 'Not since Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring" ...have I been so impressed by a beautifully spun fantasy' - Andre Norton, Grand Master of Science Fiction.
