    About this ebook

    The Sapphire has risen. There are rumors in Adlivun that the dead queen walks among her people once again...

    Aazuria Vellamo has returned to the undersea kingdom of Adlivun only to find that the place she called home for over five hundred years has changed drastically. Once the beloved rightful queen, she is now an outcast hiding among the commoners. She observes the political situation from a distance, trying to maneuver her daughter into the safest place possible-- but Aazuria quickly discovers that no part of the expanding nation is safe any longer.
    Mingling with the lower class workers who have been forced to labor on building a transpacific bridge across the Bering Strait, Aazuria watches her people suffer disgrace and abuse at the hands of their American overseers. Before she realizes it, she finds herself mixed up in riots and rebellions. Aazuria goes about in disguise to learn more, and discovers that in Adlivun's desperate underbelly a religious cult has formed, led by Mother Melusina. Her own dear friend, General Visola Ramaris, has been training a small group of elite warriors in her own private army, which is all that remains of Adlivun's fine military.
    Visola's husband, Vachlan Suchos, learns that he has missed important information coded in the words which he only considered an emotional farewell from his dying daughter. This intelligence will inevitably lead to the awakening of the vicious man's inner beast, and inspire his lust for war. But with Adlivun completely reliant on protection from the United States-- is it a good idea to burn bridges?

      This is the 4th book in the series and I think the best one yet. Aazuria has grown into her role as a strong leader, even as we watch her struggle with decision such as should she send Varia to live in the castle, should she let people know that she is alive ( I was jumping for joy when everyone found out she was alive), fighting her feeling for Trevain and the mixed emotions she has for Trevain and Elandria. She already knows that she will bring war against the Clan Zalcan, and she will throw the Americans out and renegotiate to bring better conditions to her people.Then there is Vachlan and Visola. Their love and devotion just shines through and the banter with each other seems so real, it makes me smile. Visola's faith in Vachlan was tested once again and once again he proved that he loves only her. My least favorites were Elandria and Trevain. As King and Queen they seemed like they were ony interested in themselves and turned their backs on their people. Elandria seemed shallow, weak and selfish to me. As soon as they found out Aazuria was alive then she started with the self pity and stopped talking, especially to the people who love her almost like a punishment to them. But when something bad happens to Aazuria then she starts talking again. Trevain called her on it and said it was like she wanted Aazuria gone. Even the people of Adlivun didn't like her to the point where there was talk of assassinating her. It was Aazuria that led the people to war while Elandria stayed safe with the children. But I see that they needed to be this way for the story to progress.The battle with the Clan Zalcan was exciting as always and had me on the edge of my seat and the ending was fantastic. I think the best part of the book is that all the characters are once again all together. But I don't want it to end. I want more. I want to know more about Varia and Glais, I want to read about Visola giving birth and how the babies melt the heart of the Destroyer. There is so much more about Adlivun and her people.That is the wonder of Nadia Scrieva's undersea world of Adlivun and it's people. It is magical and enchanting and you can't help but fall in love with it. I highly recommend the whole series, you won't be sorry.
