The second book in the Starbridge Chronicles, Sugar Rain
relates the stories of Thanakar and Charity Starbridge
during the revolution that ended the first book in the
series, Soldiers of Paradise. The generations-long winter
has drawn to a close, and with it the power of the
tyrannical Starbridge theocracy that maintained order during
the years of hunger. But a cruelly pragmatic priest has set
the stage for a new faith, and even those who defy him seem
fated to play out roles that will inevitably bring it to
pass. As Thanakar struggles in exile to find safe harbor for
his adopted family, Charity Starbridge undertakes a mythic
journey, passing through various underworlds to join him.
Sugar Rain was a finalist for the Locus Reader Poll Award.
