Where the Rain Cannot Reach

Tair has never known what it means to belong. Abandoned at a young age and raised in the all-Elven valley of Mirte the young Human defines herself by isolation confined to her small seemingly trustworthy family. Abruptly that family uproots her from Mirte and leads her on an inevitable but treacherous journey to Doman: the previous site of unspeakable Human atrocities and the current home of Dwarvenkind. Though Doman offers Tair new definitions of family and love it also reveals to her that her very existence is founded in lies. Now tasked with an awful responsibility to the Humans of Sossoa Tair must decide where her loyalties lie and in the process discover who she wants to be... And who she has always been. In their debut fantasy novel Where the Rain Cannot Reach Adesina Brown constructs a world rich with new languages and nuanced considerations of gender and race ultimately contemplating how in freeing ourselves from power we may find true belonging.
