The Rainfall Market

- - -

A rumour surrounds an old house. Send a letter and if it''s chosen a mysterious ticket will be delivered to you.

No one is more surprised than Serin when she receives a ticket inviting her to a store that opens once a year when it rains.

Here she''s offered to sell a misfortune for happiness.

The problem? She has one week to find true happiness, or she''ll be trapped inside forever.

Accompanied by Isha the cat, Serin searches through bookstores, hair salons and perfumeries before time runs out.

All while a shadow follows quietly behind them . . .<>
