  Death is nasty and not a little inconvenient. Being dead even more so. Especially when you're tied to an amulet that has its own evil designs on the world. For the Princess Macoby the annoying ghost with the axe in his head who keeps hanging around trying to remember swear words is just plain irritating. Little does she know that he holds the key to the mystery of who killed her intended and betrayed her father's army and the secret of the ancient evil that is aiming to overwhelm the land. (All the usual stuff). All she wants is to find the truth. All he wants is to be dead in peace. It's the Shapestone that is standing in the way.

  Death is nasty and not a little inconvenient. Being dead even more so. Especially when you're tied to an amulet that has its own designs on the world. For the Princess Macoby the annoying ghost with the axe in his head who keeps hanging around is just plain irritating. Little do either of them know that the fate of the world is in their substantial and not-so substantial hands. Jim Bibby has created a world peopled with real people, with real concerns. Their lives are not played for laughs, these come from Bibby's acute eye for timing and sympathy with human foibles. This is a serious cut above your average humorous fantasy.
