Rains is a science fiction tale of survival, secrecy, and resistance that follows Baylar and her family as they seek refuge in a mountain—the only sanctuary from the endless rain that began once the machines took over.

With her family torn apart and her people in peril, she may be the key to salvation—if she can survive long enough to discover how.
