Hujan selalu menjadi saksi dari segala yang hilang — juga dari kata-kata yang tak sempat diucapkan. Nara, seorang penulis yang kehilangan semangat hidup setelah patah hati dan kegagalan karier, kini menjalani hari-harinya tanpa arah. Di sebuah klinik pemulihan jiwa di kota kecil yang selalu diguyur gerimis, ia bertemu Ravindra — terapis pendiam yang menyembunyikan rahasia kelam di balik tatapan tenangnya. Diam-diam, Ravindra mengumpulkan setiap tulisan yang Nara buang dan merangkainya menjadi satu buku berjudul “Fragmen di Bawah Hujan.” Antara terapi dan perasaan yang tumbuh tanpa mereka sadari, keduanya saling menyembuhkan — tapi juga perlahan menyadari bahwa cinta tak selalu berarti memiliki. Sebuah kisah tentang kehilangan, penyembuhan, dan cinta yang datang seperti hujan — tenang, tapi meninggalkan jejak yang tak mudah hilang.

Valerie Ravenwood has led an inferior life for the past 4 years, being a useless hybrid — wolfless and a namesake mage. Desperate to prove her worth as a mage, she runs away from home after being denied to join the Medeis Challenge, an annual competition held exclusively for mages, and judged by dragons. She follows her elder sister, who has been chosen to take part but loses her way and stumbles, literally, into the territory of the last Dragon King, Clyde Basilisk. Clyde Basilisk has sworn off finding his mate after he witnessed his brother's destruction— physical, mental and emotional, and the betrayal he himself faced when the woman he loved deserted him as well after their lives took an ugly turn. However, when the youngest daughter of the Alpha King steps into his territory, he clambers with his emotions as his heart and mind rage into an internal war.

In a world where dragon shifters once ruled alongside humans in a delicate magical monarchy, a catastrophic war 300 years ago left the dragons nearly extinct. Now, in modern-day Seattle, 25-year-old Maya Chen discovers she's the last fertile female dragon shifter when she spontaneously shifts during a panic attack at her corporate job. The twist: There are only seven male dragon shifters left worldwide, each bound by ancient magic to different elements (fire, ice, storm, earth, shadow, light, and void). Maya's emergence triggers a supernatural召唤 summoning that compels all seven to converge on Seattle, their dragon instincts screaming that the survival of their species depends on her. But Maya isn't interested in being anyone's salvation. She's a fiercely independent software engineer who just learned that her chronic anxiety and "weird dreams" were actually her dragon trying to emerge. As the males arrive—each incredibly powerful, devastatingly attractive, and convinced they're destined to be her mate—Maya must navigate not only her new abilities but also the political intrigue of a hidden supernatural world. The complication: An ancient enemy, the Order of the Silver Chain, has been hunting dragons for centuries and will stop at nothing to eliminate this last chance for the species to survive. Meanwhile, Maya discovers that the seven males can't all survive—the magic binding them means that when she chooses her mate(s), the others will lose their dragon forever. The story blends urban fantasy with romantic tension, found family dynamics, and the pressure of being the key to an entire species' survival while trying to figure out who you really are. However, what if all seven of them were her mates? Would that allow them to save their kind?
