Hades' Daughter by Sara Douglass

Hades' Daughter by Sara Douglass

At the heart of Troy is a labyrinth, where mortals can shape the heavens. Theseus comes away with the Mistress of the Labyrinth, but when he casts her aside, the labyrinth and the city decay. A hundred years later Brutus, a warrior-king of Troy recieves a vision about rebuilding the kingdom.

Sara Douglass was born in 1957 in Penola, a tiny farming town in Australia's south. Before her parents relocated her to Adelaide and the more refined surroundings of Methodist Women College, she spent her early years chasing (and being chased by) sheep and collecting snakes. Sara went on to become a nurse at her parents' insistence (it was both feminine and genteel) and spent the next seventeen years plotting and executing her escape. Her escape came in the shape of a Ph.D. in the history of early modern England Sara left nursing after a long period of bare tolerance and accepted a post as a senior lecturer in medieval European history at the Victorian University of La Trobe's Bendigo campus.

Sara sought an escape from the departmental politics of academic life, which she found as insufferable as the emotional rigors of nursing. This came in the shape of one of Sara's early loves: books and writing. Sara's novel BattleAxe (released in North America as The Wayfarer Redemption), the first in the Tencendor series, was picked up by HarperCollins Australia and chosen as the first book in their new fantasy line, which was met with rapid success. Sara has risen to become Australia's premier fantasy author and one of the country's top writers since 1995. Her books are now available in over 100 countries.
