Where the rain finds us

Ryan Carter has spent years living two carefully separated lives-a devoted swimming coach by day and the captain of a covert government unit by night. He has survived deadly missions, hunted the country's most dangerous criminals, and buried the brother who once saved his life.
Nothing has ever frightened him more than a doctor quietly saying,
"She has four months."
His eight-year-old niece, Nooral, is dying.
Then an impossible mission lands on his desk.
A criminal organization has begun searching the forbidden Eastern Mountains-a protected wilderness where no one is allowed to go, and where those who enter rarely return. They are not smuggling weapons. They are not hiding drugs.
They are looking for something.
Something valuable enough to sacrifice lives for.
Something hidden so well that governments have erased its existence from history.
As Ryan follows the trail into the mountains, fragments of an old nightmare begin to resurface-a failed operation, the brother he couldn't save, and an enemy he believed had vanished forever.
But the deeper he ventures, the stranger the world becomes.
Rain falls beneath a cloudless sky.
Footprints appear where no one has walked.
Entire valleys vanish overnight.
And whispers speak of a city that exists only when rain and sunlight meet.
A city no map has ever marked.
A city that grants not what people desire...
...but what they truly need.
To save the little girl he loves, Ryan must find a place that shouldn't exist before those hunting it reshape the world forever.
Because some legends were never myths.
They were warnings.
And when the rain finally finds him... nothing will ever be the same again.
