We wasted Earth. But we got a second chance. Will we waste that too?
Beneath a violet sky, humanity has found a new home on a planet covered in water.
Joshian is about to inherit responsibility for its future. Raised to rule, he believes in the city his father built-and the order that keeps its people alive.
Then a girl from the islands makes him question everything.
Sikiri has seen what that order costs the people forced to live outside it. She enters the city on a dangerous mission, certain she knows who the enemy is. But when her fate becomes entangled with Joshian's, neither can afford the certainty they once had.
Back in the city, General Stark faces a colony on the brink. He has spent his life protecting humanity, and he will do whatever it takes to keep it safe. Even from its own people.
As unrest grows and the ocean reveals signs of a threat none of them understands, a young ruler, an islander, and an old soldier must decide what they are willing to sacrifice.
Their new home is changing.
And the beliefs that helped them survive may be the very things that destroy them.
The Water Planet is a standalone dystopian science fiction thriller about survival, divided loyalties, and humanity's second chance-from international bestselling author Nick Clausen.
