> Fiction Books > Science Fiction / Fantasy Books

Many Icarii survive in the courts abroad, while StarDrifter SunSoar, father to Axis, lives within the corrupt Palace of the First in Coroleas. Not even the Star Dance is as dead as the Icarii Enchanters had believed, for a strange race living in the frozen northern wastes can still hear, and use, the music of the heavens.

Other ghosts from the past wait in the shadows. The Skraelings once again gather in the north. Far across the Widowmaker Sea a pyramid broods and plots revenge on those who had once thought to destroy it. To the east, at the edge of the world, an ancient serpent god uncoils, sending an unwilling woman to be the bride of the enigmatic Lord of Elcho Falling.

As men, Icarii, ice wraiths and ancient gods gather for war, a legend rises from the dead Axis SunSoar, come to regain his heritage and the Star Dance, and to battle new dangers across a vast, mysterious land.

About the Author: Sara Douglass

Sara Douglass was born on a small farm some twenty-five miles out of Penola in South Australia. It was called Gundealga, 'peaceful watering hole', and its names, and its woods and deer, are remembered in The Axis Trilogy. When she was about seven her family moved to Adelaide. An avid reader from an early age, Sara started writing as soon as she felt competent, about nine or ten, and produced a small novelette about the discovery of the eighth sea of the world which her teachers and parents regarded indulgently, looking over her head and nodding as if to say, "She'll grow out of it".

After completing a Bachelor of Arts at Adelaide University she wrote her first novel, The Judgement of Jerusalem for which she received polite rejection letters: "We wish you all the best in your future endeavours." and resolved never to write again. And for another six or seven years she immersed herself in a new career as an academic, teaching medieval history at La Trobe University, Bendigo. To relieve stress of the job Sara took up writing again, and tried to send several to Mills and Boon, but their initial rejection letters finally became stern letters imploring her to never contact them again as her writing was so 'dark'. Then with the help of the Melbourne Yellow pages she found a publisher for a manuscript, and the rest is history.
