Worlds of Exile and Illusion: Rocannon's World / Planet of Exile / City of Illusions (Hainish Cycle, #1-3)

by Ursula K. Le Guin

Beyond the sound of wind in trees beyond the storm-enshadowed seas, on stairs of sunlit stone the fair daughter of Airek stands … She lost the tune, then found it again: … stands, silent, with empty hands.
