Upon learning that their parents may be alive, Rayhan, Ayden, and Ciri embark on a journey to discover the truth. They find themselves in an unfamiliar world called Zuria, which is fraught with supernatural creatures and mysteries dating back millions of years. A conflict within the Wardens, a group of superpowered beings sworn to protect Zuria and its inhabitants, has left the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Meanwhile, the siblings uncover family secrets that place Rayhan at the center of the conflict. He has inherited a power that neither his mind nor his body was prepared for. Can the siblings stop the Wardens that have turned their backs on the people of Zuria? Can Rayhan control the beast within, or will he become a bigger threat to his family than the monsters hunting them?
The Omnidoxy is the founding treatise of the Astronist religion and was solely authored by the philosopher and religious founder, Cometan. Partitioned into twelve disquisitions, each of which are further divided into hundreds of discourses, which are themselves titled by those which are known as rubrals, The Omnidoxy has been codified according to a unique writing structure known as insentence. The Omnidoxy not only forms the foundations of Astronism, but it remains the primary modern contributor and the book that ignited the establishment of the Astronic tradition of religion which encompasses the philosophy of Astronism. Introducing brand new philosophical concepts such as cosmocentricity, reascensionism, transcensionism, and sentientism amongst many others, The Omnidoxy remains the principal signifier of a new era in philosophy. The Omnidoxy births hundreds of new belief orientations, schools of thought, neologisms, disciplines of study, theories, and concepts which, when combined and considered collectively, have formed the basis of Astronism. The authorship of The Omnidoxy rests with the single individual philosopher, Cometan who began writing The Omnidoxy at the age of seventeen driven by what he terms as personal inspiration. The historical origination of The Omnidoxy rests in its authorship by Brandon Taylorian during early 21st century England, specifically in the northern county of Lancashire. Like in all textual criticism, the timing and location of the codification of The Omnidoxy is integral to understanding why and how it was written, especially by considering the influential factors impacting Taylorian during his construction of the text, particularly the cultural, political, religious, and social contexts of Taylorian's personal life and of wider society at the time. This forms an important branch of study within omnidoxicology known as omnidoxical criticism, or omnidoxical exegesis in which scholars study and investigate The Omnidoxy in order to discern conclusive judgements inspired by how, where, why, by whom, for whom, and in what circumstances The Omnidoxy was written.
The Grand Lexicon of Astronology is the principal post-disquisitional segment of the Omnidoxy within the Appendix of the Omnidoxy as part of the Original Omnidoxical Series solely authored and organised by Cometan and published by the Astronist Institution. The Grand Lexicon makes up the largest portion of the Appendix of the Omnidoxy at over 300,000 words and is considered the first dictionary of not only Astronism itself, but the entire Astronic tradition and culture, as studied by the astronology discipline. The Grand Lexicon includes terms across the entire Astronic tradition regarding both Millettarian and Astronist philosophies and cultures. Its authority is further solidified through its categorised as part of the Omnidoxy and demonstrates its importance to the founding of Astronism and acts as a great expander of the elements surrounding the religion. Although there will be many more dictionaries concerning Astronism and astronology with greater comprehensiveness of the entirety of these vast subjects, The Grand Lexicon of Astronology will remain the progenitor for all of these.
The Appendix of the Omnidoxy is the post-disquisitional segment of the Omnidoxy making up 460,000 words and principally includes The Grand Lexicon of Astronology, the Omnidoxical Encyclopaedia of Astronism, and the Glossary of the Omnidoxy. This segment comprises a significant portion of the entire Omnidoxy, just under one quarter of the entire text and is classified as the Peripheral Omnidoxy alongside the Preppendix of the Omnidoxy which resides before The Twelve Grand Disquisitions.
The Peripheral Omnidoxy is a publication that consists of both the Preppendix of the Omnidoxy and the Appendix of the Omnidoxy publications, therefore, all non-disquisitional segments of the Omnidoxy. It was solely written and organised by the philosopher and founder of Astronism, Cometan, and was originally published by Astral Publishing, an imprint and publishing subsidiary of the Astronist Institution. It consists of a number of different types of books and genres, including reference works, philosophical musings, quotations, mythology, encyclopaedias, lexicons, and dictionaries.

SCHILTBERGER TO THE READER. I, JOHANNS SCHILTBERGER, left my home near the city of Munich, situated in Bavaria, at the time that King Sigismund of Hungary left for the land of the Infidels. This was, counting from Christ's birth, in the thirteen hundred and ninety-fourth year, with a lord named Leonhard Reichartinger. And I came back again from the land of the Infidels, counting from Christ's birth, fourteen hundred and twenty seven. All that I saw in the land of the Infidels, of wars, and that was wonderful, also what chief towns and seas I have seen and visited, you will find described hereafter, perhaps not quite completely, but I was a prisoner and not independent. But so far as I was able to understand and to note, so have I noted the countries and cities as they are called in those countries, and I here make known and publish many interesting and strange adventures, which are worth listening to. Johann Schiltberger Munich 1428 A.D.
