In this companion to Where the Mountain Meets the Moon and Starry River of the Sky, Pinmei seeks a Luminous Stone to ransom her imprisoned grandmother. Alternating chapters follow Pinmei and her amah, with retold legends interspersed. Complemented by vivid illustrations and handsome design, this richly complex adventure revisits previous themes (greed, honesty, forgiveness); together, the books offer one grand generation-spanning epic.
