I’ve been meaning to read the first book in Karen Mahoney’s
Ironwood series for some time, and I finally got around to it this week. What a great vacation read!
Donna has been raised by a powerful group of alchemists, the
Order of the Dragon. All her life, she’s
kept their secrets, but when wood elves begin attacking her within the
boundaries of the city, Donna can no longer stay silent. She confides in her best friend, Navin, but
the confession only brings trouble into his life. With the help of the mysterious Xan, Donna
must embark on a dangerous quest that will test her loyalty to the order and to
the memory of her parents. She can make
a bargain with the elves who are the Order’s sworn enemies, or she can lose her
best friend forever.
With many secrets still buried at the end of this excellent
novel, I am hungry for the rest of the series.
I’d love to swap writer stories with Karen Mahoney someday: she seems to
love twisting myth and fairy tale as much as I do.
