Synopsis
Welcome to Watercolor World, where wine falls like rain, books choose their readers, and getting lost might be the best thing that ever happens to you. Edda was only trying to get home from work when her car carried her somewhere impossible. Now she’s stranded in a vibrant, magical realm with Urmach as her guide, a grumpy forest dweller with a bear’s body, a human face, and a surprising amount of heart. As they set off across the Rainy Continent toward the Academy of Magic to help Edda find a way home, they’re joined by an earnest troll with seafaring dreams, the secret hidden under his hat, and other eccentric companions. Along the whimsically winding roads and through the singing forests, Edda discovers talents she never knew she had, miracles she never thought possible, and friendships with fairytale creatures. The closer they get to their destination, the more Edda wonders: Is a portal home really what she wants? Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, portal fantasy, and magical adventures, The Name of the Season Is Rainy is a heartwarming, feel-good fantasy novel about friendship, found family, and the quiet joy of discovering wonder in unexpected places. With enchanting worldbuilding, ample humor, magical creatures, and an escapist, low-stress tone, this cozy fantasy book is ideal for readers of all ages who love The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland , and other peculiar fantasy comedies.
