Abby is on the run and harboring a dangerous secret, one that could get her killed—or worse—if anybody found out. J.D. is a former agent, still lethal, but not quite what he once was. Their paths cross as Abby's secret comes to light. Only the skills and training J.D. once relied upon can help them survive the wrath of a warlord intent on taking Abby's power for himself. Shards of Rain paints a grim picture of the future where the greatest scientific feats of mankind have long since begun to fail, where hopes of global governance and safety have broken down into feudal squabbling, and only friendship and loyalty can ensure that one survives the night.
