YA
Stubborn Rain, a stained-glass designer, is robbed and abandoned far from home, in a troubled foreign city where her talents are useless. Calm Peri, a falconer and one of society's "untouchables," must determine if and how to help her. Their romance shines at the center of Golding's believable depiction of a society on the verge of disintegration in this engrossing fantasy adventure.
