AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Axis is a true hero, in every sense of the word. On his shoulders lies the double burden of prophecy and war. Having fulfilled the first part of the prophecy by becoming the StarMan, he now must reunite the three races inhabiting his world. It is his destiny to lead an army against his evil half-brother, to regain control of Tencendor, once the greatest land in the world. It is his destiny to be caught between the two women he loves, one the epitome of gentility, beauty, and intelligence, the other a fierce warrior with a cunning wit. And it is his destiny to be thwarted at every turn by the vicious Goragel, an insane monster bent on destroying all that Axis works to preserve . . . Sara Douglass has taken America by storm with this powerful tale of love, prophecy, battles, and revenge.' (Library of Congress publisher description, Tor, 2001 imprint)

Notes
-
Dedication: The Axis Trilogy continues for Lynn, Tim and Frances, with a nod an da smile for Pachelbel, whose haunting Canon in D provided the background for the writing of Enchanter. Enchanter is the axis, and it remembers Elinor, who died when she and I were far too young.
