Brighton, 1824. Elaine thought she’d be safe in Brighton. But then the sea rose up and flooded the city. Now, fish dwell in submerged ground floors, mists wreathe the ruined houses, and faery creatures roam the watery streets. Trapped in an attic for several months, protected by small enchantments, Elaine’s supplies are running low. But she doesn't dare risk the dangers outside, until the night her hiding place is discovered by a roguish treasure hunter who brings trouble in his wake. Forced into the open, Elaine must finally confront her past, battle an old foe, and protect the family legacy that brought her to Brighton in the first place.

Rain's Run
Author: ID Johnson
Publisher: Rogue Wolf Publishing, LLC
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Rain is a wanted woman, and it’s apparent the Mothers will stop at nothing to track her down. Escaping her home country wasn’t easy. Even though Rain and her friends have reached temporary safety, they are a long way from the Nation of Quebec. Recovering from a gunshot wound and tired from days of running, Rain would like nothing more than to stay hidden in the mountains with the family that’s taken them in. But that’s not an option. Rain’s presence has put these peaceful people’s lives in jeopardy, and when a tracker is accidentally tripped, it’s clear she has no choice but to start running all over again. This time, when she sets out, her party won’t be the same. One of her companions will be replaced by a handsome stranger, a man who not only promises to keep Rain safe, he has her questioning her feelings for Adam. Does she really love Adam or is it all infatuation with the only man she’s ever really known? Rain’s still a long way from safety, with Mother White and the others breathing down her neck. There’s no guarantee the government she’s so desperately trying to reach will even help, but she has to try. The men of her homeland’s lives certainly depend upon it—and maybe the lives of her generation of women do, too, because rebellions are like a smoldering ember—they’re catching. Continue Rain’s journey in this thrilling dystopian romance!
