The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass

The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass

One young woman, Faraday, betrothed of Duke Borneheld, learns that all she has been told about her people's history is untrue. Her land lies in the grip of a millennia-old prophecy pronounced by the Forbidden Ones. Gorgrael, the ice-lord drives down with his demonic frozen army and the ancient forbidden threaten to once more bring her people under their tyrannical rule. While fleeing to safety from the dangerous land, Faraday rides with Axis, legendary leader of the Axe-Wielders-and hated half-brother of Borneheld. Faraday secretly loves Axis, though it woud be death to admit it. She embarks on a journey in search of the true nature of her people which will change her life forever.

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.
