To keep her secret hidden, she leaves home and travels to the strange new country of Magharna.When Peri witnesses Rain's capture by a gang of bandits, both his fate and his heart become tried to hers. They escape the outlaws, but Peri and his family of falconers are untouchables who are scorned by all, and Rain is not allowed to be part of their lives.Can Rain and Peri survive the prejudices against them? And with the country on the brink of disaster will they be able to stop their world from smashing apart?
