The rain starts one day, and it doesn't stop. Water levels rise to unfathomable heights. As global floods tear the world apart, Robert flees London for the Scottish Highlands. Along the way, he rescues those he can, including a tiny, fragile girl. Years later, that child has grown into Delia. She watches, aghast, as their island community begins to crumble under Robert's increasingly erratic rule.
A modicum of peace remains until Delia falls for a young man from a nearby waterborne colony. Many welcome the presence of newcomers and hope of an alliance. Then a shocking murder shatters the trust between the two groups. The presence of a killer in their midst is unthinkable, but it is the chilling reality they all must face.
With no law left in their drowned world, the survivors must serve as judge and jury. In search of the truth, Delia uncovers secrets that make turning back impossible - leaving her to bear the burden of condemning one she loves and irrevocably altering the course of their lives.
Apocalyptic and beautiful, perfect for fans of Julia Armfield and Emily St John Mandel.
'Gripping and immersive, a spellbinding look into a hauntingly plausible, drowned-world future, where survival and humanity collide' Tammy Huf
