The Confederacy of Heaven

Oscar may not be what Nasan hoped for in a spirit guide, but he does find her a place to stay with the rich people who've built a walled city around their very own reservoir. She tries to build a new life there while dogged by the memories of the botched water raid that killed half her clan.

The angel-like Stars who rule the universe reconsider Earth's drought-curse once every century. The human race gets just one witness for the defense – and the throne at Calgary wants to send a man who will forfeit rain for universal passage to Heaven. Nasan needs to help her newfound friends stop Calgary, but she just as desperately needs to get home and face down the chieftain who wrongly banished her. Meanwhile she's beginning to suspect that Oscar is in on some sort of heavenly conspiracy. Whether he's telling the truth or not, she may just have to step up to the challenge and save the world anyway.
