Raining Lilies is a mesmerizing debut novel that blends historical fiction, magical realism, and contemporary discovery into a uniquely powerful tale. The story focuses on Vienne O’Hare, a young woman born in 1896 in a quiet village in France. Gifted with the extraordinary ability to create lifelike illusions, Vienne’s power is as wondrous as it is dangerous. When a forbidden act involving her gift leads to tragedy, she is punished with a mysterious spell, condemned to a century-long slumber sealed inside a coffin.

A hundred years later, Vienne awakens in a world she doesn’t recognize. The modern era is fast, strange, and filled with unfamiliar machines and language. As she struggles to adapt, she finds unexpected allies in Caroline Ryland, a compassionate nurse, and her curious daughter, Natalie. But even as she begins to find her footing, the echoes of her past remain, and the people responsible for her fate may still be watching.

With rich detail, emotional depth, and an undercurrent of suspense, Katie Cox paints a vivid portrait of a young woman caught between two lifetimes. Vienne’s journey is one of resilience, rediscovery, and the quiet courage it takes to face both who you were and who you must become.

Raining Lilies is about memory, identity, and the lengths we go to protect the ones we love. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven stories with a touch of enchantment, this novel invites you to believe in second chances, even when they come a hundred years late.
