Publisher's summary

A priceless treasure is hidden within the ocean's depths....

Sabine barely managed to escape from Akros with her life.

But the ocean isn't safe for someone whose power stems from the forests.

When their ship is attacked on the high seas and one of Sabine's companions is taken hostage, only an agreement forged by blood and magic may save her friend's life.

The pearl of the sea is also the key to the gods' revenge....

With the dragon portal failing and the gods' magic threatening to destroy their world, Sabine must choose between following her heart or upholding a sacred oath.

The cost of ending a centuries-old feud may be higher than anyone expected.

All magic demands a sacrifice–even if it's hers.

EXCELLENT SERIES

This series is one winding turn after another, keeping one entertained and engrossed. You never know what's about to happen next! If you love stories about the fae, this one is for you!

4 star listen

I love how strong this fmc is
I enjoy the friendship of the rest of the group.
The dragon mmc is smitten and I really enjoy that.
I love the demons and I’m looking forward to hearing more about the merpeople in the next one possibly? Or trolls/ogres?

okay, this series just keeps getting better, a whole new adventure new problem, but still running from the old. to be honest I can't wait to get started on the next book. they even made new Alliances. good for her, but they do have one teeny tiny problem with her magic. let's see what happens next.

I love it!

This is the second book in this series. It's just a good as the first or maybe even better. I love the characters and the dynamics they have. Evey book brings in new and interesting characters. The story is just getting better and better. The narrators do an excellent job telling the story. I look forward to the next book in the series.

So cheesy I can't

Either I wasn't paying attention at all to the 1st book in the series, or there was a tight deadline for this one and they just gave up. The FMC goes on and on about a love interest and why she shouldn't get into a relationship one minute, spews clichés about how she's "never felt this way before" for 5 minutes, and then jumps his bones 2 paragraphs later!

Also, could the story be more predictable? A little foreshadowing is great but you don't have to give everything away! Lazy, unimaginative writing on this one.

Love this series!

I really love this series. Can’t wait for more. Meg Price did an amazing job at narrating

Mind Blowing Series! Never stop writing these!

This was yet another fantastic installment of Jamie A Waters's series, The Dragon Portal. Book 2 served as more proof that it's probably the best series I've read all year and maybe even last year. I've always been a fan of fantasy, and this true epic fantasy has me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Sabine, Blossom, and Malek are all characters I adore. My heart breaks for Sabine & Malek, knowing that their future together doesn't look promising, but I'm eager to see how it unfolds. I crank up the audio speed because I'm desperate to find out what happens next. Thank The Goddess I already have book 3 ready to go! But I already know I'll be incredibly sad waiting for the subsequent books. I hope Jamie keeps up this series for a while.

One thing I truly appreciate about this series is that it's not like many other fantasy books out there. Seriously, some fantasy authors write one good novel and split it up into 3 or 4 books, calling it a series. But these novels have real substance to them. Each book is over 400 pages—I believe—though I didn't check them all. On audio, at the normal speed, it's a good 14-15 hours. The author's world-building skills are frickin' amazing! Moreover, the narrator chosen for this series is doing a fantastic job! She embodies all the characters with unique voices, and her performance with all parts-male, female, pixie, and demon roles, were all superb. If I could give this book another 50 stars, I absolutely would. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good fantasy with an incredible world and lovable yet distinct characters. I can't wait to see what unfolds in book 3! And it's safe to say I'll be heartbroken when the series concludes. Jamie Waters, in case you happen to read this, please never stop writing Sabine's story! Thanks!

This is the second book in The Dragon Portal series. OMG I love this series. This book picks up where book one left off. This book is jam packed with action and such an amazing world. Blossom by far is one of my favorite characters ever in a series. Meg Price is absolutely phenomenal narrating this book.

I LOVED this one! Exciting and Fun!

I LOVE this one!! It is still action packed and filled with outstanding characters! This grabbed me from the beginning and reminded me of where the last book left off. The world they ended up on in here was very well done! I could easily visualize it in my head as the narrator read it to me. I enjoyed getting back into Sabine, Bane and all the others while watching them navigate this new area. We do get a few new characters to add to the growing list which I adore. A shout out to Blossom! She is an amazing side character who really shines and brings humor to the story.

I listened to this on audio. I can not give enough praise to Meg Price for her acting job while reading this one. She is very talented (vocally) and I look forward to the next in the series.

Fun, still into this series...

This was fun, it instantly gripped me right back into this world and wastes no time getting to action. It’s pretty much non-stop action and drama and conflict … it seems for every 1 they set out to resolve, 3 more arise along the way.

(Honestly, I’d spend every day in this world, just for Blossom alone—love her!)

✧ Strong female lead.
✧ A bit of romance and steam on the side.
✧ Friendship with strong bonds.
✧ Found family vibes.
✧ Perpetual journey.
✧ Multiple conflicts.
✧ Angry / sus goddess.

Features ALL the fantasy creatures and good writing—4 stars, overall.

Sweet and action packed

Aw. I just adore Sabine's and Malek's story. They do get themselves in trouble, but they always have each others backs, no matter the obstacles. This book is even better than the first, if possible. Blossom is an awesome side-kick and besides fae, dragons, wyverns, witches, demons and pixies we get mer-people and more when Esme and Levin get kidnapped, and though I love the kindle version, I can't wait for the next audiobook to come out, since I love Meg Price's narration of them.
