Sinner by Sara Douglass
The land Tencendor has been united for more than forty years. The Starman Axis defeated the dreaded monster Gorgrael and by fulfilling his destiny he has brought peace finally to the three races of this land: the Icarii bird people, the Avar tree people, and the humans who for generations controlled (and oppressed) the other two races. Attaining god-like powers, Axis chose to retire to the ethereal sphere in the heavens with his beautiful consort Azhure and ceded his authority to his son Caelum SunSoar. As Supreme Ruler of Tencendor, Caelum holds the reins of power carefully and the thousands of years of ill-will between the three races seems to be at an end. All seems golden for this land. Or so it might seem.
But the path of the son is not necessarily that of the father. Caelum is untried and has known nothing but peace during his lifetime. And while the three races appear at peace, there are undercurrents of jealousy and bitter memories just buried beneath the surface.
So when strange powers threaten to come through the Star Gate (a source of power that gives those with magic their near immortality) bent on the destruction of all he holds dear, Caelum will have to find the strength to fight this threat.
Complicating this situation is the almost impossible death of his Icarri sister...and the culprit appears to be none other then his hated brother Drago, who as a baby had been in league with Gorgrael and had sufficient power to try to kill Caelum. As punishment Drago was made mortal (unlike his near invulnerable siblings). As Caelum struggles to hold all he holds dear safe, he is left with this quandary:
Is Drago as powerless as he seems? Is his hate for his fate enough to have him murder?
And is he in league with the demons that hover ever nearer?
This is the fourth book in Sara Douglass''s The Wayfarer Redemption series, however it starts a brand new story arc and is the perfect place for new readers to enter this series.

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.
