Booktopia Comments
If you go to Sara Douglass' website at www.saradouglass.com you will see that she explains that The Axis Trilogy was the original name and then the following trilogy was called The Wayfarer Redemption. But in the USA they just called all six The Wayfarer Redemption. This is a USA paperback edition therefore it does not mention The Axis Trilogy on the cover but it IS the same as BattleAxe, according to Sara Douglass. This edition is the cheapest on the market. By the way when you do go to Sara's website she has a few short stories about The Axis Trilogy that complement the book and add a bit more background.
Product Description
For a thousand years the Acharites have lived prosperous lives, protected by vast and insurmountable mountains and the powerful Seneschal, guardians of the mysterious Way of the Plow and intermediaries with the great god Artor.

But now Achar's security is threatened as a millennia-old prophecy predicting the return of the Forbidden Ones flares into life. An unnatural winter grips the land as the Ice Lord Gorgrael moves his armies of demonic wraiths and Ice Worms south. Achar crumbles under Gorgrael's murderous onslaught: it seems that no one can stop him.

Faraday, betrothed of Achar's War Lord, Duke Borneheld, is as frightened as everyone else. While fleeing to safety with Axis, legendary leader of the Axe-Wielders and hated half-brother of Borneheld, Faraday learns that all she has been taught about her people's history has been based on lies. Leaving the company of Axis -- a man she secretly loves, although it would mean his death to reveal it -- Faraday embarks on a journey that will forever change both her life and those of her people.

The Wayfarer Redemption is the beginning of an epic fantasy about honor, family, and love: of Faraday's fight for one man's love, and their struggles to free the people from the lies that have bound them...and lead them into the truth of the Star Gate.
