Synopsis

A THRILLING ADVENTURE THAT WILL TAKE THE READER FROM THE WEST COAST OF IRELAND TO DEEP BENEATH THE SEA AND A WORLD FULL OF MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE, WHERE EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE, EXCEPT PERHAPS SURVIVAL...

Marina's dad had always said that she was someone who couldn't help seeing doorways to other worlds where other people saw nothing at all. She'd never quite believed him but now that he's died she's no so sure. There's an extra space between the raindrops. An intriguing gap that might lead to somewhere else entirely.

Marina's mother has strangely fallen asleep and no-one can wake her. A strange sleeping sickness is affecting most adults but not children. Marina's mysterious grandmother is one of the few who are awake. She too believes in magic and tells Marina that that you can enter a strange world between the ever falling rain in the West of Ireland.

Marina enters a haunting watery world full of strange creatures, demons, gods and dream makers. A world full of danger, beauty and surprises. Meanwhile, in our world Marina's family need her and her special powers to survive. Will Marina be back in time? Can she survive THE WORLD BETWEEN THE RAIN? CAN SHE DEFEAT HER OWN DEMONS?

Perfect for fans of Catherine Doyle, Pari Thomson and Katherine Rundell
