Burton Hallie - Tapestry - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: In Ollas anything that stirs the emotions is forbidden by the governors - especially music. So when Tallie Tarmelin a farm boy from a lower - tier guild is offered a scholarship for his talent in design he keeps his head down and follows the rules. He's terrified of breaking one of his society's many laws and ruining his future. But feeling lost and alone in an unfamiliar city takes its toll and Tallie accepts sympathy from a guildless social outcast even though he knows it could destroy his reputation. Despite the rules against casual touching and fraternizing in public Jonis Sinter offers Tallie comfort instead of denouncing him for an excessive emotional display and they fast become friends. Secret friends though because Worran the respectable son of a governor has asked Tallie to be his partner. When Worran's mother learns of Tallie's association with an outcast she dispatches the militia. Worran sends Tallie a warning and Tallie flees the city and civilization with Jonis. Surviving the wilds will take every ounce of perseverance they can muster and the rediscovery of music might be their only solace - unless they recognize the love that's growing between them.
