Enchanter is the riveting sequel to Sara Douglass's amazing first novel, The Wayfarer Redemption. Sara Douglass is an Australian treasure who has taken America by storm with this powerful tale of love and prophecy, battles and revenge, all set against a sprawling backdrop of three peoples' struggle to claim a land.
