Children of Time begins with the last remnants of the human race leaving a dying Earth in search of a new home. Following star maps left by their ancestors, they arrive at a world that was terraformed and prepared for human habitation in a past age. The planet, however, is not empty.

The story centres on two civilisations whose paths converge, each struggling to survive.
