A Diary in the Age of Water

Centuries from now, in a post-climate change dying boreal forest of what used to be northern Canada, Kyo, a young acolyte called to service in the Exodus, discovers a diary that may provide her with the answers to her yearning for Earth's past - to the Age of Water, when the 'Water Twins' destroyed humanity in hatred - events that have plagued her nightly in dreams. Looking for answers to this holocaust - and disturbed by her macabre longing for connection to the Water Twins - Kyo is led to the diary of a limnologist from the time just prior to the destruction. This gritty memoir describes a near-future Toronto in the grips of severe water scarcity during a time when China owns the USA and the USA owns Canada.
