The sky was never meant to bleed steel.It began with reports of metallic shards falling in isolated towns across the Midwest. Within days, the phenomenon had consumed entire states. Highways vanished beneath a forest of blades. Barns, cities, and shelters were shredded into ruins. And the sound, the endless scream of metal cutting through sky and earth, never stopped.For Mark and Beth Collins, survival means keeping their children hidden beneath the wreckage of their farmhouse, rationing food while the world upstairs turns into a weapon. But the Iron Rain is more than a storm. The shards are not just falling; they are planting. Structures rise where fields once stood, humming with impossible resonance, whispering the same word into every survivor's bones: Open.Cut off from the world, hunted by entities formed from the storm itself, the Collins family must decide whether to trust strangers, confront the unearthly intelligence behind the rain, or risk becoming part of the very force reshaping their planet.Can you outlast a storm that doesn't end and doesn't want you to survive?Prasanth N.M., author of dark thrillers woven with speculative science fiction, delivers a relentless survival story where disaster meets the unthinkable, and every drop from the sky cuts deeper than lightning.
