{"product_id":"lives-of-bitter-rain","title":"Lives of Bitter Rain","description":"City by city, kingdom by kingdom, the Palleseen Empire seeks to impose its ideals of \"Perfection\" and \"Correctness\" on the world. Before its armies invade, it sends Outreach—a diplomatic corps that wins allies, topples tyrants, and reshapes nations through persuasion, espionage, and political manipulation rather than force.\r\nThe story follows Angilly, a twelve-year-old daughter of Palleseen soldiers stationed in occupied Jarokir. A series of unexpected events draws her into Outreach, taking her on a journey across several kingdoms. Along the way, she discovers that the empire's successes come at a steep personal cost, forcing her to confront the compromises, sacrifices, and moral ambiguities behind the Palleseen mission.\r\nSet in a richly imagined world filled with magic, gods, necromancy, demons, and alchemy, Lives of Bitter Rain explores the human side of an empire determined to replace chaos with reason and order. It provides valuable background to the events of Days of Shattered Faith while standing as an engaging story in its own right.","brand":"Adrian Tchaikovsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45963289165884,"sku":"9781035911493","price":2795.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/9781035911493.jpg?v=1786135354","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/lives-of-bitter-rain","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
