About this ebook

When nightmares walk the Earth. . .

Alora dismantled Terra, just as the Followers of Isis feared she would, freeing its occupants and restoring the magic (and denizens) of the past. Ra is alive and eager to reunite with his family. Alora desperately hopes he will heal Jesse, once and for all.

But not everyone is pleased, and not everything is as it ought to be...

Ra may be powerful and skilled, but he’s also amassed quite a few enemies over the years. As those opposed to his methods assemble against Alora, she must puzzle out the mysteries of her ancient past to solve problems that were never resolved. Can Alora save those she loves without losing herself in the process? Will the world survive the clash of power that was put on hold for millennia?

Ratings and reviews

I had high expectations and it did not disappoint! Love developing, loss, family, revenge, magic, power and leadership. All in one book! The story starts where it left off, which was a bit of an adjustment for me, as it's been a couple of months since I read the last book (but I remembered as I read). But, if you're reading them all together, this will be great. I like how many issues were dealt with sensitively, that plot points were resolved and that the ending is satisfying - it didn't end too quickly, or drag on. Bridget always knows just how much description to give so I can picture what's going on (too much and I become bored, which I never do in this whole series). Overall, I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a strong, female lead. Alora is not only powerful, but also shows a full range of emotions and is always ready to help people.

I've waited so long for this book, and I've followed the series faithfully since the beginning. I was excited to finally get the answers that have been brewing since the first book, to find out why Terra was formed and if Jesse would finally be saved. I will say that I did love this book immensely, but it was hard to read. I had to stop reading it for a day just to get over the hard feelings that I experienced on Alora's behalf, because it honestly felt like the pain she went through was my own. This is one of the stories that breaks your heart, because sometimes love can hurt. You want everything to work out, for everyone to get the happy ending and the day to be saved, but it doesn't always work out that way. It's hard and unfair, and sometimes it seems like the world is ending. Heck, maybe it should. Alora understands that, through so many trials and hardships. She's faced with so many difficulties in such a short time, but she overcomes. She learns, she grows, she triumphs.

Alora has come a long ways since finding out she wasn’t just a foster kid but actually the most powerful person in the world…and that the fate of the world rested in her hands. But there’s still just one thing that matters to her above all else—her brother Jesse. She needs to figure out how to stop Isis, whether to trust Ra, and if Kahn plays a role in her future, but first she has to make sure Jesse will be okay or nothing else matters. Meanwhile, she’s sifting through the memories of her Egyptian past that are slowly resurfacing, trying to find clues about who to trust and how to fix the mess the world is in. She’s already given so much. Can she find the strength to fight for people she doesn’t even know when she’s at her breaking point? And with conflicting messages from the past, can anyone help her or is she on her own to save the world? This series has been incredible, and the finale does not disappoint. It’s full of shocking twists, answers to mysteries, and breathtaking, richly described ancient Egypt scenes. The character development is incredible. . .not only do the main characters have depth and just feel “real,” but even the villains are understandable in their choices. There’s just the right amount of humor to balance the tension, so prepare for weird looks as you alternately gasp and laugh. And have a tissue handy, because it’s both heart-wrenching and heart-filling.

About the author

Bridget won her first writing contest in first grade with a story about a day in the life of a little spot of air. (Who says you need a good hook?) 

She hasn't stopped writing (or talking) since then, although she was briefly derailed by her pursuit of a legal career. Ultimately, boring words, well, bored her. She quit her job to spend less time counting gobs of ill gotten gains, and more time writing stories. 

She loves her husband and all five of her kids (most days). She has a yappy dog and a bouncy dog, three goofy horses, lions head rabbits, more chickens than she will admit to having, and two demanding cats. Every day is a battle between playing with kids, riding her horse Leo, and writing. If her publication speed has slowed down, you can blame the kids and the horse.

She makes cookies all the time, and thinks they should have their own food group. In a possibly misguided attempt at balancing the scales between overconsumption and exertion, she kickboxes every day. So if you don't like her kids, her cookies, or her books, maybe don't tell her in person.

Bridget E. Baker also writes romance and women's fiction under the pen name B. E. Baker.
