Product Description
Oas. A city in the middle of a great desert, yet blessed with an abundance of water. This water is coaxed out of the skies by the Gatherers, an ancient guild of pilots who use barely understood technology to seed the clouds. The rain they bring is collected in Oas' grand system of fountains and distributed throughout the city. When Oas' Caliph dies suddenly, a new Caliph is augured-a young and not very responsible Gatherer named Haran. Only a teenager, Haran finds himself thrust into a new world of court intrigue, politics, servants and betrayal. His Vizier thinks himself Caliph, and is willing to kill for the title. In the Caliph's almost forgotten harem, Haran meets and falls in love with Qeemah. Her love forces him to question his path in life-whether to continue on as a puppet of the Vizier or to return to the honorable life as a Gatherer? But when Oas' neighboring city, Entana, loses its only source of water, its Sultan demands that Oas surrender the Gatherers and their technology to him for Entana's use. War looms, and Haran is faced with the awesome responsibility of being Caliph not only in name, but in deed. Confronting the Sultan's army-and the skein of betrayal that brings it to Oas-Haran must decide if he is Gatherer or Caliph.or both.

Couldn't put it down!, July 13 2011
By StlSongbird - Published on Amazon.com
I recall spending several days curled up with a series of David Eddings books while in college, eagerly anticipating the next book tale. The same is true of The Cloud Gatherer and Heir to the Sand! So incredibly easy to invest in the characters, to care for them and their journey. I don't have the luxury of curling up and missing a few classes anymore, but this story was an adventure I had to tear myself away from each night. Loved it, and I could see even more adventures in the future for this cast of characters. True fantasy at its finest.
