Chronicles of the Shadow Prince Monica Osborn

Every thousand years, a force unknown to man selects a new living being tasked to travel from star system to star system, planet to planet. The man selected, having no say in the matter, only knowing he is the new God Warrior and chosen one and his life is no longer his own for the next thousand years. Mathew, now Prince Mathew, is the newest member of this elite club. Its members chosen through no choice of their own. Their lives and destinies no longer in their command but rather commanded by another. With the exception of only a few planets, Prince Mathew is the entity humans and in some cases, non-humans, pray to for deliverance. Their prayers are heard and passed on to Control, the controller who determines where the prince will go next. Though many do cry out for help, the Prince cannot always deliver them from the evil of others. Sometimes he gets to those in time. Sometimes, unfortunately, he is too late. In many cases, when all seems lost and they have little or no hope of being saved, many will cry out for the Shadow Prince. While Prince Mathew and the Shadow Prince are one and the same, the outcome can be drastically different. Prince Mathew is known as the savior. The Shadow Prince is better known as the destroyer. Even those in the animal world fear him, knowing full well he is the bringer of life and death, rendering justice as he sees fit. Having the power to destroy entire civilizations or planets though he has never had to do that. Prince Mathews mission, to save a civilization, both human and animal from the evil intentions of a few men. Entire cities are being burned to the ground. The people killed or led off into slavery or worse still, forced to become unwilling contestants in one king's sports arena. Even the children are tortured or set upon for sport. But one child, now a young woman, has refused to bow down to the sadistic intentions of her father, the Bull King. His demands for her to become his next child bride have sent her into hiding. His agents are scouring the remaining kingdoms in search of her. It's Prince Mathews assignment to find her, set her up in her own kingdom and when they are ready, stop the spread of the evil kings. The job is all the more difficult as her father's agents are hot on her trail and his soldiers are wiping out the nearby villages, every man woman and child. The Princes arrival will bring unwanted attention. The young woman trusts no one, especially a stranger. He must first win her over, then convince her she is the right person to lead the people into the future. A future that solely hinges on Prince Mathews ability to protect her and install her as the ruler of the Seventh Kingdom.
