The sequel to The Warrior Heir by New York Times and USA Today
bestselling author Cinda Williams Chima.
Sixteen-year-old Seph McCauley has spent the past three years getting
kicked out of one exclusive private school after another. And it's not
his attitude that's the problem: it's the trail of magical
accidents--lately, disasters--that follow in his wake. Seph is a wizard,
orphaned and untrained, and his powers are escalating out of control.
After causing a tragic fire at an after-hours party, Seph is sent to the
Havens, a secluded boys' school on the coast of Maine. At first, it
seems like the answer to his prayers. Gregory Leicester, the headmaster,
promises to train Seph in magic and initiate him into his mysterious
order of wizards. But Seph's enthusiasm dampens when he learns that
training comes at a steep cost, and that Leicester plans to use his
students' powers to serve his own wicked agenda.
In this companion novel to The Warrior Heir, everyone's got a secret
to keep: Jason Haley, a fellow student who's been warned to keep away
from Seph; the enchanter Linda Downey, who knew his parents; the rogue
wizard Leander Hastings; and the warriors Jack Swift and Ellen
Stephenson. The only question is: Does Seph have the strength to survive
this wizard war?
