Sara Douglass was one of Australia's leading fantasy writers. Author of the award-winning Axis Trilogy (BattleAxe, Enchanter and StarMan), Threshold, the Wayfarer Redemption Trilogy (Sinner, Pilgrim and Crusader), and the Darkglass Mountain trilogy, she also worked her way through three degrees at the University of Adelaide, culminating in a PhD in early modern English history.
