The Sapphire Portal by Ian Irvine

The Sapphire Portal by Ian Irvine

The world of Santhenar has fallen

Most of the old allies are dead or captured, and the conquering Merdrun are carving Skyrock into a gigantic tower, with a sapphire-clad tunnel at its base. Is it a horrific new weapon to cleanse the world, so they can take it for their own? Only their arch-sorcerer, the sickening, life-drinking magiz, Dagog, knows.

Karan, Flydd and their broken allies have only thirty days to find the answer. Thirty days to unlock nine-year-old Sulien's hidden memory and reveal the Merdrun's one fatal weakness. But Sulien has been abducted by the magiz, who needs her talent of far-seeing for his monstrous conspiracy.

To save her daughter's life, Karan will have to break into a compound guarded by 150,000 enemy troops and every magical device known to the enemy.

Assuming she can get past the traitor in the allies' ranks.
