In a world where secretive river-dwellers known as Larkers conceal their gills from landlubbers, thirteen-year-old Effra has been caring for her brother, Fleet, since their grandfather's passing. When the malevolent Rivermun kidnaps Fleet, demanding the river serpent's pearl to settle ancient debts, Effra embarks on a perilous quest. With the help of a sentient sewer rat and a landlubber girl named Bow, she must navigate treacherous waters, confront formidable creatures, and challenge the mighty Mother River to save her brother and her community.
