“Blood does not confine you nearly so much as you believe. It is the spirit that commands the blood. It is the spirit that determines what the body is truly capable of.” It’s been seven years since the Attack that killed Mira’s parents and left their kingdom in the hands of Iachor, the god-like Elkein. Seventeen-year-old Mira is resigned to her life in the castle smithy until a sudden danger forces her to flee with Darien, a mysterious newcomer with a fierce mission. As Mira finds herself tangled in Darien’s plan to free the land from Iachor’s power, she becomes increasingly aware of just how deep that power runs, even in her own heart. Drawing on the rich legacy of medieval legend, Mereda Hart Farynyk’s Daughter of the Rain is a magical tale of courage, faith, and the power to overcome.
