Synopsis

Pilgrim, Book Five of the Wayfarer Redemption from Sara Douglass

The Star Gate is destroyed and the Star Dance is dead. Icarii Enchanters, gods, and humans alike are helpless as the TimeKeeper Demons lay waste to Tencendor.

There must be hope left, but no one knows where to find it. Death lurks in every twist of the Maze, but only those who have the courage to endure death can learn the secrets of the ancient enemy.

Caelum SunSoar and his parents know that the only way is to discover the ancient secrets that lay trapped in the mountain Star Finger, and Faraday, martyred heroine, grows ever fearful -- and ever bitter. Must she lose everything to the land?

About this title

About the Author:

Sara Douglass (1957-2011) was Australia’s leading fantasy author and one of its top novelists, earning two Aurealis Awards. Her beloved series include Wayfarer Redemption (including the award winning Enchanter and Starman), The Troy Game (beginning with Hades’ Daughter) and Crucible (with award winner The Wounded Hawk). Her standalone novels include Beyond the Hanging Wall and Threshold.

From Booklist:

Douglass realizes the world of Tencendor more fully with each volume of the Wayfarer Redemption, but in volume 5 that world is in hideous trouble. The Star Gate has been destroyed, and people and gods alike are helpless against the Timekeeper Demons laying waste to the land. Although deprived of immortality, Drago, a son of the old hero-king, Axis, remains powerful. But as destruction increases, some factions, seeing in Drago's brother, Caelum, the Starson who will restore magic, support Caelum against him. But that magic cannot return unless the demon Qeteb is allowed to ruin the land. The plot developed under those circumstances includes treachery, spectacular magic, near and actual madness in major and minor characters, and lots of action. Drago battles Axis but resists the demons' magic at the cost of much of his sanity. Many beasts are driven mad or wind up with power of their own. Confusion reigns. No place to start the series--that place would be The Wayfarer Redemption (2000)--but crucial for faithful followers. Frieda Murray
