Under the Same Rain: Romance

A romantic historical-fantasy escape story follows Awilda, the delicate daughter of a royal blacksmith, and her adopted brother Avery, both caught in a lifelong rivalry with Prince Alf for her affection. When Alf separates Avery with a false dungeon errand and proposes to Awilda, the night uncovers Avery’s imprisoned pirate lineage, a jeweled cutlass tied to hidden treasure, and powers drawn from the afterlife. Awilda and Avery flee together, each hiding a dangerous secret, and stow away aboard the Brinicle Baron’s ship as the town comes under pirate attack.
