He hopes she will act as a genesis for change and begin to even the balance between light and dark.
Thanks to fate, or perhaps the intervention of a deity, she is given a place to stay by a band who also happen to practice dark magic. Their lead singer has recently departed so an audition is held to find a replacement. Unfortunately the man who is chosen seems to be determined to make life a living hell for Chaosta. Thanks to fate pulling her strings and the interference of the new lead singer Chaosta faces a challenging path. The question is, will she find love along the way?

Reviews and Comments
This story was truly magical. Runes to Rain is a thrillingly unique entry into urban fantasy that stands head and shoulders above the rest. It starts by dropping the reader into a world choked by pollution where a once grand conflict between Angels and Demons has devolved into a sort of cold war, slowly suffocating both humanity and the planet as a whole. Thrown into this collapsing reality, the formidable heroine, Chaosta is meant to be a force for change - someone who will tip the balance and perhaps save the world. Before she can do that she must first grapple with the core question of her own identity and purpose.
