Book description
Epic fantasy in the tradition of Trudi Canavan, Fiona McIntosh and
Robert Jordan. Sara Douglass returns us to a world in the grip of
prophecy and war …
'Welcome Axis, into the House of SunSoar and into my heart… Sing well
and fly high and may nothing and no-one tear your feet from the path of
the Star Dance again.'
Axis has fled to Talon Spike, the home of the Icarii, where he must
learn to wield his Enchanter powers to fulfil the Prophecy.
Somehow he must lead the Icarii and the Avar back into Achar, defeat his
half-brother Borneheld and reunite the former kingdom of Tencendor under
his rule.
Meanwhile, Gorgrael waits impatiently for winter, to continue his
destructive drive into the heart of Achar… Praise for previous books
in The Axis Trilogy:
'The twists, revelations and foreshadowings keep you turning pages'

'Absorbing. Those who like their battles bloody and realistic will get
their desire, but here also are moments of great tenderness'
Starburst Sara Douglass was born in Penola, South Australia, and spent
her early working life as a nurse. Rapidly growing tired of starched
veils, mitred corners and irascible anaesthetists, she worked her way
through three degrees at the University of Adelaide, culminating in a
PhD in early modern English history. Sara Douglass currently teaches
medieval history of La Trobe University, Bendigo and escapes academia
through her writing.
