The Iron Tree is a fantasy novel written by Australian author Cecilia Dart-Thornton.

On the way they are ambushed by Marauders, mountain folk that are deformed and spend their lives pillaging villages and unwary travelers.

Jarred is found out by his friends to be invulnerable however one of their party is injured and they are forced to take refuge in Marsh Town in the kingdom of Slievmordhu.

Little do they know, they will find Jarred's gift and Lilith's curse stem from a past that intertwines them.

Kliatt called the book "uneven and flawed", but "more successful in the latter part of her tale".
