Visiting their aunt and uncle for the summer, Molly and Elizabeth venture under a sycamore tree and find themselves in a fantastical world known as the Harrow. The girls know little of the troubles that will soon plague this new world but are guided by their uncle's pet cat to a meeting of wizards where they learn that a long dead evil has been reawakened and is plotting to destroy the world. The sole weapon against this darkness rests on a necklace given to Molly by her uncle.

Soon storms from the east bring the Uakor Turg, dreaded minions of evil, while ghost demons and dark wizards wage war across the lands and capture the sacred tree of peace, the Aina Dur. To save the Harrow, Molly and her sister must an adventure with others to face the darkest of evil.

This Special Edition book was published to commemorate the third anniversary of the first printing of From Under a Tree. The book features a map of the Harrow, an introduction by the author, several new scenes from the author's original manuscript, and appendices containing historical background of the events of the Harrow.

The appendices include material that adds to the depth of Harrow and elaborates the stories of individual characters, but would have slowed down the main narrative too much to be included there. It is possible to read, enjoy and understand From Under a Tree without this information, but the appendices reward the reader with enhanced understanding of the characters, history, and culture of the Harrow. Within the appendices you will learn the chronology of the Ages: The Age of Fire, The Age of Kings, and The Age of War. You will experience the Ay' Panul, or great upheaval, as written by Tollen Popperdock, and the mystical tenets of the I' Ra Heru, the mighty father feline creator of the Ra Cath.
