Pilgrim (67 page)
Authors: Sara Douglass
ISBN 978 0 7322 5749 1
A shadow is looming over the great hot southern land of Ashdod. It is the shadow of Threshold, the pyramid which the Magi of Ashdod are building to propel them into Infinity.
But something is waiting in Infinity. Waiting for the final glass plate to be laid, waiting for the capstone to be cemented in blood…waiting to use Threshold to step from Infinity into Ashdod!
Over the past two years many readers have written in with suggestions, ideas, and frequent pleas for Faraday’s life (I always intended to kill her off in
Enchanter
, but no-one would allow me to). I thank you all (and Faraday sends her heartfelt relief at being hauled back from the brink of a thousand deaths), but I would particularly like to thank Kylie Coutts who reminded me about Faraday’s enchanted wooden bowl. If the Sacred Groves go up in flames, Kylie, you must bear the responsibility!
Sara Douglass was born in Penola, South Australia and moved to Adelaide when she was seven. She spent her early working life as a nurse before completing three degrees at the University of Adelaide. After receiving a PhD in early modern English history, Sara worked as a Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at La Trobe University, Bendigo, until 2000.
Sara’s first novel,
BattleAxe,
was published in 1995 and she has been writing and publishing ever since. Three of her novels are winners of the Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy.
Sara now lives in Hobart, Tasmania.
