Shadow of the Ghost

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.

5Highly Recommended  May 02, 2008
By C. Saglio
My understanding of "fantasy" novels was that they were detached from the reality of a world in which I live, and so, I had avoided them. This book showed me how wrong I have been. Cast in other worlds and places, "Shadow of the Ghost" constructs an intreaguing plot, and a series of fascinating adventures while skillfully developing characters whom one comes to think of as one's friends. The emotional content and the true to life emotional and intellectual dilemas are reflective of the human (as well as elven) world. I recommend the book without reservation.

5Well done, Tanner!  Jul 02, 2008
By Matthew
This book was very, very well written! Tanner has taken all of his readers on a rollercoaster ride through the life of a young elven child named Ky. Unlike most books where the heroes have no flaws, Ky is young and has much to learn. He is a lovable character, a perfect base for a story like this.

Excellent work!

Your friend,

Matthew Reade, author of John: Son of a Commander

5"What did you do to the water?"  May 11, 2008
By Katherine
An astounding adventure! Easy to read, yet full of substance "Shadow of the Ghost" tells a tale urging readers to see the influence of friendships, loyalty, justice, and most importantly - family. Set in a world not too different from our own, it is easy to be swept up in the magic and warmth of a young elf searching for family while bound to the constraints of the chaos around him that is not his own. "Shadow of the Ghost" is a tale wonderfully told for a decent price. If you have any hesitation in purchasing...buy it! The story is well-worth the investment.

5Can't tell you how much I enjoyed the book!  Jun 08, 2008
By rkvoskuhl
I just finished reading the Shadow of the Ghost. I have never read a book that kept me wanting to return to it until it was done. I loved the way it was written and of course - Ky. I have come to love the little guy.

I know that I will find myself picking up the book and re-reading parts of it from time to time.

You did a great job creating Ky, and I am sure that it will be read by many, many readers over the years.
