Kelda has always protected her little sister, Isla, from danger on the rivers, and from the suspicions of their community. For Isla cannot breathe underwater – and so her very existence is forbidden by the Lore of the Silvermen.
Now, the rivers of England are growing sick: monstrous creatures are awakening, and a fierce torrent of blame falls upon Keldas family. When betrayal comes, the sisters escape on a desperate journey upstream. Joining forces with a mysterious boy, Kelda discovers the darkest depths of her kind's secret history. But to save both her sister and the very life of Britains waterways, Kelda will have to make a sacrifice – one that will change her life forever.
