Maisie, a young photographer from Stockport, thought her greatest challenge was capturing the perfect shot-until she stumbled upon Veyl, a glowing shard of ancient power buried by the river Mersey. What begins as a curious discovery spirals into a nightmare as the shard awakens the Draeth, shadowy entities bound to its magic, and pulls Maisie into a centuries-old battle she never signed up for. With the help of Ewan, a guarded drifter with secrets of his own, and Craith, a scarred ex-soldier obsessed with the shards' destruction, Maisie embarks on a perilous journey through the windswept moors of the Peak District to sever Veyl's hold. But the shard's power is growing, fusing with her very being, and the Draeth are relentless. As ancient rune circles flare and forgotten rituals falter, Maisie must confront the terrifying truth: she may be the key to breaking the shards-or the catalyst for unleashing their chaos on the world. In this haunting blend of supernatural thriller and coming-of-age tale, The Shard Beneath the Rain explores the cost of power, the weight of responsibility, and the courage to face the shadows-both within and without.

A woman wakes up in the middle of a forest, remembering everything except her name. One thought drives her-she must get home. - Two years ago, Haylen Fayes watched his sister dissolve into blue mist. No Death Dreame has come since, so he knows, with the deepest certainty, that she is alive-at least for now. But with the Principality of Marok the Third banning unregulated divination, he turns to illegal sources for answers. As disappearances rise and Peacekeepers crack down, Haylen must leave the principality sooner than planned. - Now calling herself Lynnette, the woman feels an irresistible pull north-where the Otherlings dwell, and humans are unwelcome. As she travels ancient roads, unfamiliar memories resurface, but she knows not of their significance - not yet. - As the siblings search for each other, they realise that the disappearances were no accident. From golden fire snaking across skies to the haunting song in the winds, everything leads back to the nature of the blue mists. And, at the heart of it all, lies a living mechanism that has slept for two thousand years. Now, it's waking up. **Prompts used: 12 and 93** Credit to @Heuristic_Hashmath for the amazing cover
