Rainbow Knife (Tales of the Watermasters, #2) / Tales of the Watermasters (ePub)

In the desert, water means life. In the Valley of Two Rivers, the canals have allowed countless generations to farm this harsh land. Too much water, however, can mean death.

After winter floods destroy the canals, the farming clans of Serpentgate fear that their last days have come-the time of desperation and division spoken of in the Prophecy of the Rainbow Knife. Mysterious deaths, accusations of witchcraft, and a clash between rain priests and the priestesses of the mother goddess have set parents against children, men against women, clan against clan.

To prevent this calamity, Waterstrider, one of the Watermasters who long ago built the canals, is called home out of exile. Waterstrider and his allies must survive a web of intrigue to restore the vast canal system and preserve their way of life.
