Synopsis
After surviving her otherworldly adventure, Lily wakes up on her nana’s farm
having forgotten everything. Her sun prince, her travels to Egypt, and her
journey to the Afterlife are all distant memories.
But Lily is not the girl she once was. Her body is now part human, part lion,
and part fairy. And if that isn’t bad enough, she must now harness this power
of three and become Wasret: a goddess destined to defeat the evil god Seth once
and for all.
With the help of her old friend Dr. Hassan, Lily departs on her final voyage
through the cosmos and across the plains of Egypt. On the journey, she will
transform into the being she is destined to become.
Reunited is the heart-pounding conclusion to the Reawakened series.
It is time for Lily to find her sunset.

There’s
no help for one such as me. My nature makes me what I am. And
what I am, is hungry. His eyes changed. The very countenance of his face
blackened even darker than his shiny skin.
Come to
me, young one, he said silkily, his voice making all the noise of the ship and
the churning water around me disappear. You are the tincture that will
soothe my parched throat. Come into my mouth and I will cover you
like a storm covers the sea. You will drown in me but it will be a
peaceful death, like lying on a carpet of moss as the pale moonbeams slowly
drain the life from your body.
I
obeyed. I climbed up onto the mossy hill and lay down, cushioning my head on
the spongy bed. It was peaceful. The voice was right. This was
my path, my purpose. My body would feed the hunger of the cosmos. There was a
horrible sting, a pressure on my leg. But soon I forgot about it and rested
again. My mouth tasted funny, like I’d bitten into a rotten peach. The bitter,
swollen taste turned into a burning that licked my veins with fire. I
whimpered.
Then a
great explosion rocked me violently from my bed. It was dark. Just a strip of
light at the base of the door. My leg was pinned to the bed and it hurt, badly.
Suddenly, the door flew open but it opened the wrong way. The thing poking my
leg wrenched away and I realized exactly where I was. In the mouth of the
snake.

If I could live anywhere for a year, I would like to live in the UK and travel through out Europe and see some of the places I have only read about.
