Cinder and Anya have endured endless heartaches and hardships, but can they accept the very erasure of their lives?

Having acknowledged their mantles as the Reborn Blessed Ones, Cinder and Anya have achieved the near-impossible. They have collected six of the seven Orbs of Peace, and best of all, the last one should be the easiest yet. A friend and ally, the Calico dragon, possesses the final Orb.

But Cinder and Anya cannot fight a world-spanning war on their own. Not with enemies looming in every direction: Shet’s forces readying to conquer the world, the rakshasa Duchesses furthering their own ambitions, and Zahhack stirring in his empty Realm.

Additional allies are required.

Yet who can Cinder and Anya trust when supposed friends hide betrayal, unlikely foes offer aid, and a son of their heart, long thought dead, yet lives? And how can they save him and all they hold dear when it requires a sacrifice that might see Cinder and Anya expunged from existence?

Instrument of Omens

In the Instrument of Omens series, Davis Ashura crafts a world where fate hangs by a thread and every decision carries the weight of a thousand consequences. Set in a universe filled with ancient forces, divine relics, and fierce battles, this series weaves together intricate plots with rich character arcs, taking readers on a journey where the lines between good and evil are never clear, and the future is always in flux.

At the heart of the series lies the powerful Instrument of Omens—a mystical object that holds the key to unimaginable power. But this artifact isn’t just a symbol of hope or destruction. It is a reminder that every force, no matter how grand or small, has its own hidden purpose. The characters who seek or guard it aren’t just fighting for survival—they’re wrestling with their own destinies, choices, and the very nature of power itself.

Ashura’s world-building is immersive and thoughtful, blending fantastical elements with deep philosophical questions about morality, ambition, and sacrifice. The universe he’s created is one of contrasts: vast empires clash with small but determined factions, gods and mortals alike struggle with their roles in the grand design, and ancient prophecies threaten to become self-fulfilling. The setting is as much a character as the people who inhabit it, with each location, each race, and each artifact contributing to the story’s layers of meaning.

Throughout the series, readers will encounter complex characters, from reluctant heroes to morally grey antiheroes, each struggling with their own burdens and desires. The stakes are high, and the choices they make will shape not only their futures but the fate of the entire world. No one is ever truly safe, and in the end, even the Instrument of Omens itself may prove to be more than anyone can control.

With themes of fate, power, and redemption, Instrument of Omens offers a unique blend of high-stakes action, emotional depth, and philosophical exploration. Whether it's the strategic conflicts between rival factions or the personal journeys of those caught in the web of prophecy, this series promises to captivate fans of epic fantasy looking for a fresh and thought-provoking narrative.

As secrets unfold and the battle for control of the Instrument reaches its climax, readers will find themselves questioning what it truly means to wield power—and whether the cost of such power is ever truly worth it. Instrument of Omens is not just a story about an object—it’s a tale of the choices that define us and the legacies we leave behind.
