Man Amongst the Clouds

In a world where magic is memory, every gift has a price.

For fifteen years, Aelo has lived in silence, hidden in a nameless village and fed herbs that suppress a power he does not understand. He has never heard the world sing.

When the silence breaks, he discovers that magic is a conversation with the world's memory. Every stone, every river, every tree remembers. But the more he listens, the more of himself he loses.

Far away, King Varas drains the memories of others to feed the silence inside him. To capture the boy who made a stone sing, he sends the Knife, a deadly servant whose fading identity is tied to five precious objects locked in a wooden box.

Hunted across a broken world, Aelo must master a power that could save everything or erase him completely.
