Chasing Cloud is set in about 2500 BC in Copper Age Malta. The protagonist, Lamaxe, is the priest at the Tarxian temple. He has devoted his life to the ‘Fat Lady’, a fertility goddess, and has spent many years learning the temple rituals and theology. A young female sculptor then disrupts his somewhat perfect life.
Lamaxe finds himself responsible for trying to find a young girl he knew from his childhood after she unexpectedly disappears. Meanwhile, the young sculptor, who he first met last Spring, now needs his help to obtain a copper idol for one of her carvings.
Lamaxe finds himself embroiled in two exciting and dangerous adventures. Can he complete both of these quests?
