Cloud Permutations — Lavie Tidhar

The world of Heven was populated, centuries ago, by Melanesian settlers from distant Earth. It is a peaceful, quiet world yet it harbours ancient secrets.

Kai just wants to fly. But flying is the one thing forbidden on Heven -- a world dominated by the mysterious, ever present clouds in the skies. What do they hide? For Kai, finding the answer might mean his death -- but how far will you go to realise your dreams?

Set against the breathtaking vista of a world filled with mystery and magic, CLOUD PERMUTATIONS is a planetary romance with a unique South Pacific flavour, filled with mythic monsters, ancient alien artefacts, floating islands and a quest to find a legendary tower whatever the cost.
