Shanji is now available as a reprint in trade paperback, and soon in electronic form.
Kati thought she was Tumatsin, but her real father was Moshuguang, a Searcher, one of those working to bring down the feudal empire on Shanji and establish a progressive society. Answering to Mandughai, the emerald-eyed empress of a neighboring star system, the Moshuguang seek to create the Mei-lai-gong, the empress of light, a super-being who travels in the gong-shi-jie, the place of light from which the universe first came into being. The Mei-lai-gong will be ruler of Shanji, transfering mass and light energy at infinite speed for good -- or evil. Kati has a talent never seen before. When her mother is killed, the Moshuguang rescue her to be raised in the emperor's palace and trained by them. But Mandughai has also seen Kati. She takes over her training, and the girl's powers soon exceed even Her own. Kati must be Empress, bringing reform and unity to Shanji, but first a war must be fought, a war between Kati and her beloved Mandughai, and now the girl has the power to destroy a star. Only the love and compassion within Kati can prevent total destruction in the final confrontation to establish her rule.
