Praise for The Axis Trilogy:

‘The twists, revelations and foreshadowings keep you turning pages’
SFX

‘Absorbing. Those who like their battles bloody and realistic will get their desire, but here also are moments of great tenderness’
Starburst

Product Description

The Serpent Bride is the first book in the Darkglass Mountain trilogy, revisiting the tempestuous magical world of Tencendor with all it’s strange and wonderful inhabitants.

Tencendor is no more; the cherished home of the Acharites, Avar and Icarii crumbled beneath the Widowmaker Sea five years ago.

But the sacrifice of a continent may not save a world. The Timekeeper Demons were defeated, but a more ancient evil waits patiently for its own vengeance.

Across the empty ocean, deep in the Outlands, The Coil – worshippers of the Snake God – divine a terrible future from the eviscerated entrails of a living human sacrifice. They must offer their precious arch priestess to the King of Escator, Maximilian Persimius, or face oblivion.

In Escator, Maximilian must agree to a union with reviled Coil to or see his beloved kingdom fall into financial ruin, though the Outlands would turn against his small realm should they uncover his bride's origins.

But the King of Escator has many reasons to fear the future, for his serpent bride is not the only secret he hides…

Surprising 7 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
I very much enjoyed the Battleaxe series and its follow up, which I would highly reccomend to anyone thinking of reading this book.

Also I would reccomend you read Threshold by this author.

So why surprising?

This is because although this book seems to be a standalone, it is infact not, and draws on the aforementioned titles. I did not realsie this from the blurb on the back, despite having read almost all of her previous work. You do not need to have read them to enjoy this, but they will enrich the experience and if you enjoy this, and then try to read her previous works they will be ruined for you in some ways as this reveals vital plot twists from her previous books.

Very enjoyable, pick it up ( or the previos books) today !!!

Sara Douglass has again created a world rich in magic and wonder. There are a number of familiar faces in this book, and I would heartily recommend reading The Axis Trilogy, Wayfarer Redemption and two stand alone books, Threshold and Beyond the Hanging Wall, before delving into this series.

The world is much changed since we last saw it, and an unlikely band comprised of gods, witches, priesteses and kings, must come together to aid the Lord of Elcho Falling in his task. There is an evil rising in the south, threatening to destroy everything. Can they defeat it before it becomes too powerful?

My only complaint about this book is that I will have to wait so long to read the next installment!

Highly recommended.

Not for the uniniated 18 Sep 2007
By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Well known for her rich embroidery of world building we see Sara return to form with this latest epic in much the same guise as her Axis trilogy. Whilst you can pick this up and begin reading without having read other within the same realm of Sara's work it is a great pity and you'll feel that you're missing something essential. This can be fixed by reading another of her novels entitled Threshold however in my personal opinion I would heavily advise reading this tale as an introduction to her work as elements and plot outlines from previous tales appear within its pages. As a new reader about to discover Sara then what I'd advise is to start from the beginning in order to get the full flavour of the tale.
