Copilul apelor este o poveste a carei actiune se petrece in secolul al XXII-lea, intr-o Anglie partial inundata. In urma schimbarilor climatice, supravietuitorii englezi s-au intors la un mod de viata mai simplu, intorcand spatele tehnologiei, in vreme ce Scotia e in ascensiune, incercand sa-si extinda teritoriile. Dar atat englezii, cat si scotienii trebuie sa faca fata Talharilor, triburi de pirati care bantuie apele. Lilly Melkun, o fata de pescar din Anglia, a iesit cu barca si cu pisica sa la pescuit, cand Talharii o rapesc pe fata prim-ministrului. Satul este rascolit, iar Lilly decide sa plece in cautarea fetei. Rascumpararea o poarta la cingatoare o bijuterie vorbitoare misterioasa, o ramasita din epoca computerelor si va descoperi in cuprinsul aventurilor ei ca toata lumea si-o doreste.
