The Knights of the Round Table reimagined in a rain-soaked apocalypse. Embark on a dark fantasy adventure filled with magic whisky, folkloric monsters, and bloodshed over a fortune in salt.

Our world is lost to time. Only our myths remain.

Once rain was a symbol of hope and harvest. Now it brings only death.

Humanity survives in sheltered cities and canvas-covered towns. Travel between these patches of safety is rare and dangerous.

It’s what Galahad lives for.

But while seeking a lost cache of salt—a fortune he plans to use to build a shelter over his hometown—Galahad is betrayed by the friends he holds dearest.

They leave him for dead. Unfortunately for them, he lives.

Torn between seeking justice or revenge, Galahad knows one thing for certain: that treasure is his, and he’ll do anything to reclaim it.
Praise for the Rainfallen series:

‘Aeveryn's prose deserves a mention, as it is a strange mix that features some lyrical expressions, that are perfect for transmitting that knighthood feeling, and more plain language; a prose that feels like a reflection of the own Rainfallen world.’ — JamReads

‘A mash-up of Grimdark fantasy and post-apocalyptic thriller, with clear horror and sci-fi influences. The combination works a treat, being glued together by a noir-esque tone. It’s gritty and sardonic, Abercrombie-like.’— Nick P (TheBookScene)
