Publisher's Synopsis
Chronicles of the Shadow Prince The Princess and the Staff 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. 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 new assignment; To enter into a different kind of galaxy and star system not seen by outsiders for a thousand years. The Blue Alpha System. Home to many planets and star systems but on this trip, he will attend a planet called Wyren. His main mission, to rescue an elven princess. Wyren is home to all the things of dreams and fairytales and way too many things of nightmares. Its residents are humans, elves, dwarves' dragons, trolls, ogres, orks and a wyvern. Adding to the mix are the gnaarn. The gnaarn, an evil creation of the wizards, part dragon and part bat. Able to breathe fire like the dragons. Hundreds of years before, they were created and used in an attempt to take over the planet. Once defeated and banned to the far side of the planet. Now, after hundreds of years, they are back and numbering in the thousands. So many as to black out the sky. Over a thousand years prior, another controller ventured here to help others in need. The Prince assigned, became so involved and caught up in this realm his controller couldn't get him to leave. It was as if the forces here simply sucked him in and nothing would change his mind. He was left here with his powers intact but as soon as another Prince was chosen, he lost his rights to a long life. He is thought to have died but his staff remains, lodged in a stone and awaiting the day when a prince will remove it.
