Description In Favor Of Books Crusader (The Wayfarer Redemption #6)
From epic fantasy author Sara Douglass comes Crusader, The sixth book in The Wayfarer Redemption seriesFor countless millennia the Star Dance and the TimeKeeper Demons have battled their way across the universe, destroying innumerable planets, laying waste to civilizations across the cosmos.
Choosing the land of Tencendor as their last battleground, the demons break through the Star Gate. The Gate destroyed, all magic in the world is gone and the three races of Tencendor are plunged into a vortex of chaos, madness, and death.
Caelum SunSoar, son of the near-immortal Starman Axis and beloved ruler of all the land's peoples, is dead. Leaderless, those not killed outright or driven mad flee to the one place left to them, Sanctuary, a magical place created ages past to shield all who are good from the wrath of the demons.
There is for some one hope left: DragonStar, Axis's other son. Many believe he is the true StarSon, the only being that can save their world. Others are just as convinced that he is in league with the demons and will be their doom. Only DragonStar knows the truth and as he and his companions go forth to do battle he prays that he may convince all that his motives are pure.
What he does not know is that there is a traitor who plans to hand Sanctuary over to the Demons. A betrayer whose actions could force DragonStar to make a sacrifice so bloody and horrific that it could mean the destruction of everything that he holds dear in this life or the next.
And if he fails, he could doom Tecendor to an eternal hell.

5 StarsCrusader is the sixth book in The Wayfarer Redemption series by Sara Douglass. When this book was released back in in mid 1990s, when I first read it, it was originally called Battleaxe and was book one of the Axis Trilogy- the series later got expanded and so the name change. Part of my 2019 reading challenge was to read an Australian author- well how do I narrow that down, there are so many great Aussie authors, but Ms. Douglass was one of the first Aussie authors whose work I fell inAll the loose ends were tied up, but I felt that this series had a lot more potential in the first three books than the last three, especially this one. There were way too many powers at work in this book to my liking. Then, there was the inclusion of an over-power in Tencendor and not on the other continent of that planet that left me wondering if there is a whole different spread of higher powers over there. This was just so strange to me. There also was a lot of throwing in of strange magics
disappointing end to a marvelous series
I cannot understand how the latter three books are so much better than the first three. Nothing accounts for it. In any case, this conclusion, while at timesonce morewrapping up with a little TOO much ease, a little TOO much Deus ex Machina (seems to be a Douglass issue), and with *ahem* many of the same character traits and flaws apparent in other characters quite SIMILAR to one another in other series (I am staring without shame at you, Brutus and Axis), I am still nevertheless impressed, and
Disappointing destruction of the characters and world created in the battleaxe trilogy , and douglass' world breaks the key rule of fantasy ; even wild imagination requires a degree of structure and logic and avoidance of deus ex machina
And so closes the story of Tencendor, begun in 'BattleAxe' Trilogy and continuing into the Wayfarer Redemption, Sara Douglass managed to fill six books with an epic, twisting tale that introduced and made me care about many different characters and their intertwining lives, all pummeling toward an inevitable show down and an even more inevitable conclusion - I always knew how this story would end (I had the unfortunate privilage of having read the Darkglass Mountain books before these), but I
That was such a wonderful ending!! It makes me happy! Mel 🖤🐾🐺
