\nFrom USA Today bestselling author Nghi Vo comes a beautiful new tale in the Hugo Award-winning Singing Hills Cycle, drawn from the earliest days of Chih's career as a wandering cleric. \n \nNghi Vo is so good.--NPR on The Brides of High Hill \n \nEvery story begins somewhere. \n \nOn the banks of the Ya-lé River, the town of Luntien gathers to celebrate the start of the rainy season, but the celebration is marred by the arrival of refugees from the sea. Everyone has a story about the foreigners newly in their midst--lazy, violent, unwanted--while the refugees themselves grieve the loss of the home they loved. \n \nCleric Chih, very recently still Novice Chih, is also a stranger in Luntien. A moment of carelessness and bad luck leaves them waiting tables as they struggle to establish themself as a real cleric. A cleric's job is to listen and record, but the stories emerging in Luntien are ugly and violent, as hard to predict as the river itself. With their hoopoe companion Almost Brilliant by their side, Chih must help the refugees while also unraveling a mystery that may have roots in their own faraway home in the abbey of Singing Hills. \n \nIn the seventh entry of the award-winning Singing Hills series, we meet Chih and Almost Brilliant just beginning their journey together as Chih assumes their place on the road and in the world. \n \nThe novellas of the Singing Hills series are standalone stories linked by the Cleric Chih, and may be read in any order. \n \nThe Empress of Salt and Fortune \nWhen the Tiger Came Down the Mountain \nInto the Riverlands \nMammoths at the Gates \nThe Brides of High Hill \nA Mouthful of Dust\n
