One ancient celestial, in particular, creates a new bond that will shake the universe for eons, affecting all mortals and immortals alike. Wings of the Ominous is a new, ever-expanding, epic fantasy.* When you have an eternity of time, there is little room for surprises. But for Ahzrael, new events are about to shake his everlasting life. In a universe filled with a multitude of planes, realms, and worlds, resides a group of powerful beings that observe it all. The Diuxals. They wait, century after century, for the Evils that threaten worlds across the galaxies, hungry for sentient life. Among Ahzrael’s time in the stars, an unexpected opportunity falls into his lap. He finds himself in the presence of a weakened yet powerful rival. His people want her dead. She’s an abomination. But he sees a once in an eternity chance and keeps her alive. It’s a chance for his people to finally rest. To quench the flames of a long war. A chance for personal redemption. Some opportunities, however, have unforeseen, unforgiving consequences. And this intriguing ancient enemy, turned ally, has many surprises. In Ahzrael’s long life, the threads of the universe have never been this uncertain. Wings of the Ominous is the first book in the Ominous Series.
