✦ Synopsis

The Soul Monger wanted only one thing. Us.

For centuries, the Soul Mongers journeyed the Transcender, the mysterious gateway between their universe and ours. Their goal? To take from Earth those who they knew would fetch the highest price, until the mighty League, righteous and principled, blockaded the Transcender to keep humankind safe, vowing to bring about the end of the Soul Mongers and their vile trade.

Until the League itself found it needed us.

A tale of intergalactic slavery and war, of greed and intrigue, and the story of six ordinary people, stolen from Earth, who crossed universes to save a galactic Empire

The practise was ancient. And profitable. For centuries the Soul Mongers crossed the mysterious Transcender portal that linked their universe to ours. Their mission? Whole souls. The name they gave to humans.

But it was only in the Soul Monger’s universe our remarkable potential could be fully realised; only there did we learn just how truly unique we are. And how prized we would become.

As slaves.

In time, an enlightened and benevolent League became the symbol of a new order and many systems and worlds were drawn to a new awareness. Trade and commerce between the Treaty planets flourished and slavery was outlawed. With the Transcender sealed and denied their secret access to our world, the Soul Mongers and their vile trade all but died out. The legends of whole souls faded into history.

Until an unnamed enemy rose, waging a fierce and merciless onslaught the peaceful League were powerless to withstand, unless they once more acquired the deadliest weapon known to their universe.

Us.

And only the very last of the Soul Mongers knew where we were.

Review
The Soul Monger is a work of engaging and intelligent science fiction penned by author Matilda Scotney. Across the universe, past a gateway that seems far beyond the understanding of the simple people of Earth, Soul Mongers practiced their vile deeds, stealing humans - or Whole Souls - and transporting them to work as slaves in another dimension. Though they were stopped by the League as interplanetary negotiations and Earth came further into the future, an old enemy waited in the wings to wreak new havoc. Six people,stolen from their home world of Earth, take action against this evil, and what follows is a shocking, twisting tale of galactic politics,slavery, and war.
