The Parting of the Waters

The Reclaiming of Reskha has begun. Time has passed and the Changing of the Sun has ended. The Kashinai are finally able to return to the world they were forced to leave behind, much changed but still the same. New settlements have been created, ancient cities are being restored and the Kashinai are no longer what they once were. The Seaborn diver An'she and her sister are part of a team of archeologists sent to excavate the ruins of Danshu. High Summer has come and the sea is calling more than just An'she. Above them an alien ship is drifting having realised life exists on this once sun-battered world. Below them, in the ocean depths, a new kind of life is rising. Today, they meet for the first time. What they gain the capacity to create will go beyond just a single world and change the fate of a galaxy. The Parting of the Waters is the second instalment of a breath-taking trilogy that spans lifetimes and ages from veteran journalist turned author Lesley Smith.
