When Saki awoke in a forest clearing, she only remembered three things: her name, how to fight, and that she could lift objects with her mind. But, Saki has more important things to worry about. Laika is in the midst of a civil uprising, and Saki has stumbled right into in the middle of it.
Found and recruited by rebels, Saki focuses on her life as a renegade soldier. Fighting comes easily to her- a little bit too easy. But, she doesn't have the luxury on dwelling on that or her forgotten past when any moment could be her last.
When a mysterious young man appears with proof that he is the Empress's long lost son, the rebellion sees their opportunity to usurp the throne. Saki's squad is tasked with assassinating the Empress and putting Prince Luwen in power.
Luwen also brings startling information: the government is looking for a young woman with mysterious powers like Saki's. With only that to go on, Saki and her squad head to the capital with Luwen in tow to overthrow the throne and end this war. But, Saki can't continue ignoring the questions of her past as they intertwine with the fate of not only Laika, but the entire world.
From the writer of the 2014 Watty Undiscovered Gem and former Featured book, THE TRUTH OF HEROES, comes a breathtaking dark fantasy set in a world based on ancient Asia. An Omen of Crows updates every Friday around 12pm EST

A Bird's Eye View: The Villain and the Hero's Love Affair
You're just a little birdie, minding your own business-flying around, dodging falling leaves, trying not to get too involved in the messes of the city below. But, oh, the drama! The masked hero and the brooding villain you've been watching for months-yeah, those two? They have a lot of secrets. The hero's perfect, obviously, saving the world and all that. But the villain? Oh, dear. By day, they wear a mask of evil and power, but you've seen what happens when the cape comes off. There's some serious darkness lurking in their private life-self-loathing, quiet pain, and way too many late-night mood swings. But don't worry, the villain's got it under control... or so they think. You thought their love story was one of those sweet "enemies-to-lovers" kind of deals, until you saw the truth from way up here. It's a mess. Betrayal. Anger. Love. Secret identities. A fight that's way more personal than you ever imagined. But hey, that's not your problem, right? You're just a bird. Except, well... Maybe you care. Maybe you're the one who's been flying around, wondering if their messy, secret love story will ever have a happy ending-or if one of them will end up on the wrong side of the city's skyscraper (literally). From your vantage point, it's a little too close for comfort, but hey-no one ever said love was easy, even for villains and heroes. Just try not to get caught in the crossfire, okay?

Yet now, having given all that she could, fighting through the night until her last breath surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even with her vision starting to blur, there was no hints of fear in her eyes. 'Please just let me die.' Praying to the Gods above, she only hoped that when she closed her eyes, this time, they would never open again. But it did. "FUCK!" She cursed at the Gods above! Reborn into the body of an orphaned daughter? No problem, what she had was wealth and honorary title that her father had left behind! Married into an infamous Generals' manor? Fine! As long as he doesn't disturb her, he is just another big money tree for her to take shelter under! This time she was determined to lead a lazy and peaceful life, taking a break from "living". But why does it seems that God had other plans for her. Things weren't as simple as they turned out to be.
