| book description |

SHORTLISTED FOR THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST SERIES 2025 City-by-city, kingdom-by-kingdom, the Palleseen have sworn to bring â€˜Perfectionâ€™ and â€˜Correctnessâ€™ to an imperfect world. But before these ruthless Tyrant Philosophers send in their legions, they despatch Outreach â€“ the rain before the storm. Outreach is that part of the Pal machine responsible for diplomacy â€” converting enemies into friends, achieving through words what an army of five thousand could not, urging the oppressed to overthrow the bloody-handed priests, evil necromancers and greedy despots that subjugate them. Angilly, twelve-years-old, a child of Pal soldiers stationed in occupied Jarokir, does not know it yet, but a sequence of accidents and questionable life choices will lead her to Outreach. As she travels from Jarrokir to Bracinta, Cazarkand, Lemas, The Holy Regalate of Stouk and finally, Usmai, sheâ€™ll learn that the price of her nationâ€™s success is paid in compromise and lost chances, and that the falling rain will always be bitter. LIVES OF BITTER RAIN is a novella in Adrian Tchaikovsky's award-winning Tyrant Philosopher series. It is a prequel to the third novel in the sequence, DAYS OF SHATTERED FAITH.
