This book is an epic historical saga spanning more than a thousand years of Irish history, where myth and memory walk hand in hand through the shadowed valleys of Caelthorn.
From the terror of Viking raids to Norman conquest, from famine and rebellion to the rise of a new Ireland, generations of clans, monks, warriors, landlords, and rebels struggle to protect the land that binds them to their ancestors. Beneath ancient oaks and ruined keeps, old beliefs endure alongside new faiths, while whispers of dragons and forgotten gods linger at the edges of history.
Richly atmospheric and deeply rooted in Celtic folklore, The Witness Tree weaves intimate human stories into the sweeping tides of history.
It is a tale of love, sacrifice, survival, and the enduring spirit of a people determined to carry their culture through centuries of conflict and change.
