Rob Dunbar has kept his immortality a secret since his birth in Babylon. At the turn of the 23rd century, he's about to be outed.

His blackmailer, a strange-eyed man named Baxter, offers him another option. Baxter's organization is set to negotiate the constitution for a group of corporate-sponsored colonists preparing to launch from Titan. If Rob will lend his three millennia of experience to the cause, Baxter will help him discover why he's been alive so long.

But the company has no intention to let them leave Earth--and will pursue them across the Solar System to stop them from reaching Titan and the colonists who may be enslaved without them.

After stealing the holy book of Arawn, lord of the dead, sixteen-year-old Dante finds himself under covert attack by the cultists who want it back. Alone in the city of Bressel, he hires an even younger bodyguard named Blays, who will at least give the Arawnites someone to kill while Dante runs away. But Blays is as quick with his blade as he is with his insults. Matched with Dante's growing skill with the nether, the magic contained in the book of Arawn, they're able to flee with their lives.

But the men of Arawn are stirring in the north, gearing for war against Dante and Blays' homeland. To stop the siege, they must travel to the foreign city of Narashtovik and assassinate the woman leading the rebellion. Instead, Dante becomes her student--and finds his loyalties strained to the breaking point.

Funny in a way few fantasy novels are, The White Tree is an action-heavy tale of two people coming to grips with a violent, confusing world.
