Prophecy's Demand: Instrument of Omens, Book 5

by Davis Ashura, Nick Podehl (Narrator)

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 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?

About the author

"

Davis Ashura is an author of such sublime depth and beauty that his works have been known to cause a tear to fall from the eyes of even the hardest of hearts.
Just kidding.
But he does write.
This humble writer, who refers to himself in the third person, resides in North Carolina, sharing a house with his magnificent wife who somehow overlooked Davis’ eccentricities and married him anyway. As proper recompense for her sacrifice, Davis then unwittingly turned his magnificent wife into a nerd-girl. To her sad and utter humiliation, she knows exactly what is meant by ‘Kronos’. Living with them are their two rambunctious boys, both of whom have at various times helped turn Davis’ once lustrous, raven-black hair prematurely white (it sure sounds prettier than the dirty gray it actually is). And of course, there is the obligatory strange, adopted cats (all authors have cats-it's in the by-laws). One eats everything placed before him and the other has the world's stinkiest breath.
When not working – nay laboring – in the creation of works of fiction so grand that hardly anyone has read a single word of them, Davis practices medicine, but only when the insurance companies tell him he can.
