Lives of Bitter Rain

Jarokir . . . Bracinta . . . Cazarkand . . . Lemas . . . The Holy Regalate of Stouk . . . Usmai.

Lives of Bitter Rain is the story of Sage-Invigilator Angilly of the Palleseen Outreach Department and the accidents and questionable life choices that lead her to become Resident to Usmai, greatest of the Successor States, inheritor to the necromantic dominion that was the Moeribandi Empire, and tomorrow's frontline in the Palleseen's relentless march to bring Perfection and Correctness to an imperfect world.

That conflict is the subject of Days of Shattered Faith; this story is about how Angilly ended up so far from home. It begins in distant Jarokir . . . And it begins with fire . . .
