Synopsis;
Set on the sandy planes of a long-forgotten Earth, where desert stretches from coast to coast and the people live in nomadic clans. Fresh water is the most valuable resource, also the rarest. To survive in this harsh world ‘Chasers’ from each of the seven clans must patrol the skies for clouds using airships built from remnants of the old ones to harvest water. But with so many thirsty mouths only one clan can get enough water from a single cloud. By the law of the desert the first ‘Chaser’ to the cloud has the right to its water. It has been weeks since the last cloud was seen, tensions are high, and water reserves are low. Until an enormous storm cloud is spotted on the horizon and it is up to the courageous Nakoha, Chaser for the Sparrow clan, to be the first to the cloud.
