In the rain-starved streets of Mercer, where water is more precious than gold and the scent of rain is a distant memory, a mystery soaked in magic unfolds. When a stranger, drenched from head to toe, appears at Park and Key's doorstep, their world turns upside down. She's a puzzle wrapped in an enigma, with eyes that hold centuries of secrets and a presence that feels like a storm about to break.

"No one knew where she came from. Yet here she was, standing in the doorway of our apartment house, soaking wet from head to toe."

Park and Key's encounter with Margo, the girl with the rain, catapults them into an adventure that stretches the boundaries of their understanding and tugs at the strings of their hearts. In a city hidden from the prying eyes of the outside world, where gardens flourish with engineered water and the market is the lifeblood of an experimental community, Margo's arrival challenges everything they thought they knew about their world.

As they navigate the mysteries of Mercer Street and the enigmatic origins of their new acquaintance, they are drawn into a web of intrigue, technology, and ancient magic. But with every question they unravel, more arise, pulling them deeper into a vortex where the past and the future collide.

"Here's To Something Beautiful" is not just a journey through time and water; it's a voyage into the depths of friendship, love, and the quest for a miracle. Join Park, Key, and Margo as they seek answers in a world where the impossible may just be possible, and where every drop of rain holds a story waiting to be told.

Dive into a tale of mystery, technology, and ancient lore, where the search for rain becomes a quest for survival and understanding. Can Park and Key uncover the truth behind Margo's mysterious origins before the secrets of Mercer consume them all?

Unravel the mystery. Feel the rain. Discover something beautiful.

In one swift movement of my hand I reached behind Sapphire's neck and released her hair from the low ponytail it was in. She gasped at my action and looked at me with feverish eyes. I thought I saw the colour gold flicker in her eyes, for a few seconds before I lifted my hand near her face and tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear, before I said: "I fell in love with you, the first second I saw you reading that Tolstoy book in the library." She looked up at me, her warm beige skin looked like it was glowing now and she said with pure sincerity in her eyes "per sempre, in ogni dimensione, per sempre in ogni vita, solo tu fino al mio ultimo respiro amore mio" It meant (Forever, in every dimension, forever in every life, only you until my last breath, my love) I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me. Before kissing her the way I wanted to all this time, i looked into her eyes and said "Me too my love, me too." My first novel is about soulmates. And reincarnation. About, how many bodies a soul has to live in before they finally become their true selves. And before they finally get to be with their soulmate. It's about how love has so many faces. It's about how we never know what roads life will force us to cross. And what emotions we will be gifted to feel. And the things we're blessed with that sometimes we neglect. It's about giving yourself the time to grow and evolve before you give yourself to someone completely. And it's about not to take the love you have in your life for granted.

In Saileora, power hums beneath the soil, ancient and untamed. Seeker Wrain, princess and heir to a throne that feels more like a cage, has always sensed it, both around and inside her. But the whispers of that hidden force - the stirring of magic, the heartbeat of the land - have never explicitly belonged to her. Until now. When an impossible void tears through the quiet countryside, leaving her kingdom's fields in ruins and the skies heavy with shadows, Seeker is thrust into a world of secrets she never asked to inherit. The dragons - the ancient gods of her people - are no longer the benevolent protectors of legend. One of them, Ascklees, has risen from his grave, burning with a hatred that could ignite all of Saileora. The land calls for heroes, but Seeker has never been one. Not the fierce warrior like her childhood friend Calix Clearbow, who walks in the light with unwavering bravery, nor the brilliant Dr. Rockbrow who seems to bend the world to her will.

Other Omnicircies - rare wielders of all the Subcirces, whose power has the potential to shape the fate of kingdoms. And they are waiting, hidden among the peaks of Vidya, the shores of Blissia and Brashar, and the deserts of Sadya. Only together can they confront the gathering storm, but first, they must be found. In The Dragon's Call, nothing is as it seems. Every smile hides a secret, every whisper holds a danger. Power calls to those who dare to listen, but power demands a price - one that not everyone will survive. Are you ready to heed the call?
