Back Cover

Been working on the back cover text for my #ShadowGodsSeries which features the main character Dohan and his need for control. Let me know what you think:

Reality is not always what is seems. Some try to manipulate it, some contemplate it from time to time, and some let it pass by never giving it a thought. Dohan, on the other hand, controls it. He’s been the man behind the curtain for nearly a thousand years, but now his reality appears to be slipping away from him; completely and irreversibly out of his control. Just how this is happening, he doesn’t know, but he’s desperate to find the reason behind it. So as he takes center stage in this fight for humanity, he never suspects there to be a curtain behind his own. But finding its opening seems impossible since it’s so meticulously constructed he can barely fathom its width and breadth. There is, however, one thing he does know; a young boy named Jayk is the key to discovering who works his own puppet strings.

Of course, within the #ShadowGodsSeries, Dohan is more than he seems. He is a man with a dreadful past. In that past, he took the blame for thousands of deaths. He took the blame from the breaking of the world. He took the blame for the death of the one person he loved. Now he embraces his solitude until he feels the waves of change. Departing from his self-exile, he tries to regain some perspective by mentoring Jayk; a boy with some extraordinary skills. He only hopes he can curb the boy's thirst for vengeance before time catches up to them both.

With less than a 100 pages to edit, I feel pleased with the changes, the intrigue, and the crumbs I have spread throughout the book. I think all I have to do now is add some urgency to the final scene...the pivotal battle within this first of nine books.
