Poison Tree (novel)

Poison Tree is a 2012 young adult fiction novel by American author Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and is her thirteenth novel.

The novel's title is derived from a poem by William Blake entitled "A Poison Tree", which is featured at the beginning of the novel.

Atwater-Rhodes stated that Poison Tree was originally titled Tiger Rise, that she had initially filmed it as a movie with her friends, and that the book took her a long time to write.

Sarik is capable of shapeshifting into a tiger, while Alysia once worked as an Onyx mercenary- a profession that causes trouble to follow her wherever she goes.

With a bounty on her head for anyone that can capture her, both Sarik and Alysia must decide what price they will pay to save Haven Number Four even as it turns into a warfield around them.
