The Dreaming Tree

By: C. J. Cherryh

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

The classic fantasy duology, combining The Dreamstone and The Tree of Swords and Jewels in an omnibus for the first time.

It was that transitional time of the world when man first brought the clang of iron and the reek of smoke to the lands which before had echoed only with fairy voices. In that dawn of man and death of magic, there yet remained one last untouched place - the small forest of Ealdwood - which kept the magic intact and protected the old ways. And there was one who dwelt there, Arafel the Sidhe, who had more pride and love of the world as it used to be than any of her kind.

But fear of the world of Faery ran deep in the hearts of men, and when Ciaran Cuilean, Lord of Caer Wiell, a man with Elvish blood in his veins, found himself the object of increasing distrust and suspicion from his men, his king, and even his own family, he knew he must once again put his humanity aside and return to Ealdwood.

For shadows of a newly awakened evil swarmed across both lands, and unless Ciaran reclaimed his haunted weapons from the Tree of Swords and joined Arafel, he would see this evil overtake not only the warm hearthstones of the mortal keeps but the silvery heart of Ealdwood itself....

Do Not Miss This Book!

First class fantasy novel! This not anything like her other Sci-Fi work. Really great story and perfect narration!

unsure

this book was confusing to me I had to start it twice. the narrator kept putting me to sleep. maybe this just wasn't my kind of book.

very good

Never knew about the last book. Delighted with the series and narrator. I listened twice as the narration and eriting were lyrical.

Beautifully written

Good story that lost my interest when it kept repeating similar situations with no development. The narrator was excellent.

A wonderful story of dark and light!

Fantasy at its best by a true master at her finest and delivered in a wonderful performance that truly enhanced the story. You will not be disappointed with this audiobook!
