Review
"Fantasy rich in detail, action and romance... For all its complexity, this absorbing narrative flows with ease to a highly satisfactory conclusion."--"Publishers Weekly""" "Douglass brings many original touches to the telling, effectively using vivid imagery to flesh out her exotic setting: a strong romantic plot in an unusual fantasy setting."--"Kirkus Reviews""" "Full of original touches, this is very good storytelling."--"Booklist" "Douglass has proven herself a fine storyteller, and here she does it again."--"Library Journal"
About the Author
Sara Douglass was born in Penola, a small farming settlement in the south of Australia, in 1957. She spent her early years chasing (and being chased by) sheep and collecting snakes before her parents transported her to the city of Adelaideand the more genteel surroundings of Methodist Ladies College. Having graduated, Sara then became a nurse on her parents' urging (it was both feminine and genteel) and spent seventeen years planning and then effecting her escape. That escape came in the form of a Ph.D. in early modern English history. Sara and nursing finally parted company after a lengthy time of bare tolerance, and she took up a position as senior lecturer in medieval European history at the Bendigo campus of the Victorian University of La Trobe. Finding the departmental politics of academic life as intolerable as the emotional rigours of nursing, Sara needed to find another escape. This took the form of one of Sara's childhood loves - books and writing. Spending some years practising writing novels, HarperCollins Australia picked up one of Sara's novels, "BattleAxe" (published in North America as "The Wayfarer Redemption"), the first in the Tencendor series, and chose it as the lead book in their new fantasy line with immediate success. Since 1995 Sara has become Australia's leading fantasy author and one of its top novelists. Her books are now sold around the world.

Paperback. A shadow is looming over the great hot southern land of Ashdod. It is the shadow of Threshold, the pyramid that the Magi of Agi are building to propel them into Infinity. But something is waiting in Infinity. Waiting for the final glass to be laid, waiting for the capstone to be cemented in blood, waiting to use Threshold to step from Infinity into Ashdod! Thousands of slaves have been drafted into the construction of Threshold. Among them is Tirzah, a young glassworker. Tirzah has a secret gift - and one that may kill her. She can communicate with glass, and what the glass of Threshold screams at Tirzah every time she touches it drives her to despair. Boaz, the Master Magus, is watching Tirzah. He knows she's hiding something and he'll do whatever it takes to discover it. But what secret does Boaz hide? And why is the Song of the Frogs the only way to Save Ashdod?
