Traveling across continents, Sapphire grapples with mythical beings, ancient riddles, and inner demons. She and her family fight to protect everything they hold dear from the egomaniacal schemes of Cartazonon.
All Sapphire wants to do on vacation is relax, sort out her confused heart, and wait for her cousin to be born. But the Asuras and magical beings of India have been waiting for the Jewel of Akasha and they don’t want to go home; they want power. To heal the benevolent, Sapphire can’t separate out the evil — all will have access to the energy of Akasha. And that will bring Cartazonon right to them.
Travel the world with the Children of Fire!
As a group home kid, Sara never expects to be part of a family, much less have a different name, meet a unicorn or wake up one day with magical powers. But that’s exactly what happens when she turns fifteen. After that, life gets a little more crazy and a lot more dangerous.

Man in the Mirror is a fun story! I really enjoyed Mari's fire and determination. Her sisters and brother-in-law are such great characters that I'm hoping Elaine will write their stories some days. As for Dylan- let's just say I'm going to start going to antique stores and staring in mirrors hoping to find him.
