Prophecy's Demand

Instrument of Omens, Book 5

By: Davis Ashura

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

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?

I’ve really enjoyed 90% of this series

I’ve really enjoyed 90% of this series. The other 10% honestly felt like work I had to push myself through. This installment adds a new - completely inexplicable - unforced error that honestly shocked me. The suddenly mature themes and language really came out of nowhere. I’m not sure what Davis was thinking. Either way, other than that I really enjoyed this book and series. I highly recommend it.

Loved it. How the loose ends are all tied together .

Now we wait for the next one. I hope it comes out fast!!

This is the best one yet

All is ephemera and ephemera is all!

I love this Fragging Book

Yeah this is definitely my favorite Saga of Books. From “Castes and The OutCastes, to William Wilde, to Instrument Of Omen. I am both looking forward to and dreading the end of this series. Well Done Mr. Ashura!!!

Tying things together

excellent book. I'm mostly depressed though; knowing that I'll have to wait for two years for the next one.

was not the best of the series

this was the hardest of all the series to get through. 1st 1/4 to 1/2 was very hard to follow and detracted from the whole book
