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.

Cover image - © Gemphotography | Dreamstime.com 15-year-old Demi-Louise knew that her new life in Clopwyck River wouldn't be easy. Forced to live with her estranged sister and racked with guilt over her mother's death, she is guarded with those she might hurt- and who might hurt her. But she couldn't have predicted the secrets of this seemingly quiet town. Centuries before, the inhabitants of Clopwyck River drowned a pregnant witch and since then those born there are cursed with a power that lies dormant until unleashed by extreme emotion: the Facultas. Drawn into a life interwoven with magic and excitement, friendship and romance, Demi learns there is a sinister side of the Facultas: when used for evil, pieces of the soul are lost until there is nothing left but madness. She discovers that someone has found a malevolent way of circumventing the risk of losing the soul; death. A human sacrifice will unleash chaos and darkness will descend on the town. Just as Demi starts to accept her place in her friends' hearts, family secrets are revealed and she battles a life changing truth and a threat against her loved ones. She must come to terms with her hidden past and fight for her family and friends' lives- by any means possible.
