Chaos reigns as warring gods engulf an entire planet in their conflict in Shadow of the Ghost, an epic fantasy by Tanner, an author who places the universe in the precarious hands of Ky, an unpredictable elven child. Their planet is a place where the spirits of creation are suffocated by unbridled power that must be checked. Rachk'sha believes that all creation is his to manipulate as he wishes. With no remorse, he imprisons his brother, an old man, and begins to replace the gods, The Nine and the Council of Darkness, as if it were a game. The planet turns crimson, and Maker decides to send Ky, a "Seed," to set things right. Ky has his work cut out for him. Denied his coming of age and exiled in a cruel world, Ky must first deal with his own ghosts before he can seek meaningful justice. He chooses to take revenge in which the backlash might prove to be his-and the universe's-undoing.
