Reignited
(Reawakened 0.5)
Author: Colleen Houck

Book Description:
A sibling rivalry.
A forbidden romance.
A spell that changes everything.

In Heliopolis secrets abound and passions ignite as chaos rises.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Tiger’s Curse series and Reawakened comes a novella full of celestial marvel, passion, betrayal, and evil that will grow to reign over humanity forever.

Before Lily and Amon met, before the cosmos was in chaos and needed three brave brothers to fight off evil, there were four siblings who helped rule the earth.

Each sibling had a special gift. Osiris, the god of agriculture, helped mortals to grow and thrive in their natural environment. Isis, the goddess of creation, fostered health and wellness. Nephthys, the seer, was able to keep the balance between all living beings and the universe. But Seth, the youngest sibling, was left without any special powers. The Waters of Chaos, which granted each god’s talent, were running dry, and Seth was paying the price.

As time passed, however, Seth’s determination and willfulness resulted in a very special gift, one that should have granted him the ability to enact wondrous change. But Seth’s competitive childhood gave him a heart so cold and vacant that instead, his gift brought about great evil.

Seth was now the god of unmaking, the creator of disorder and destruction. And he was ready to seek his revenge, dominating all who got in his way.

TENS LIST

Ten quotes from REIGNITED

• Amun-Ra scoffed. “Any man, mortal or god, knows there is no handling a wife. Women handle themselves and intelligent men get out of the way. But I wouldn’t expect a boy like you to know that yet.”

• “Of course,” he continued, “you are aware that I must punish you appropriately for having gone behind my back. It simply won’t do to have all of Heliopolis know that I have no authority over my wife.”

• “A wife shouldn’t leave her husband on their wedding night.” “And a husband shouldn’t commit murder on his.”

• “Just because it hasn’t been done before does not mean such a thing is impossible.”

• Osiris kissed her and the world around them exploded.

• As he stood there in the shadow of her wings, he perceived that he was her willing prisoner, he’d offered up his wrists to shackle himself, and yet he knew there was no place in the cosmos that could offer him such contentment.

• Seth found the laughter of children an ugly thing. It reminded him of his youth when others had laughed at him during his pathetic attempts to conjure something, anything. Being around the young made his neck feel tight.

• Isis was the brightest star in the cosmos. And she was his for the taking. He was caught in her orbit and he’d burn up in her presence. But he didn’t care. He wanted this. He wanted her. More than he’d ever wanted anything since his life began. And yet, he knew he couldn’t have her.

• “And what are the consequences of a life lived without love?”

• Now he was ready. Now he was whole. His power had finally arrived. And it was mightier than he’d ever hoped it would be.

  1. I love the idea of using the Egyptian deities as the basis of your characters.
