The Wizard Heir - Cinda Williams Chima



Description:
Sixteen-year-old Seph McCauley has spent the past three years getting kicked out of one exclusive private school after another. Unfortunately 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 now that the only person who could protect him has died, 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 quickly when he learns that training comes at a steep cost, and that Leicester plans to use his students' powers to serve his own mysterious agenda.
In this companion novel to the exciting fantasy 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. This wizard war is one that Seph may not have the strength to survive.
Review:
This is book two in this series (see The Warrior Heir for my review on book 1). Again, there is a lot that needs to be explained regarding the Rose wars and the Weirlinds. So far I like these series. The reading was really fast (it took me 2 days because I still needed to work). When SephSeph because he was a loner and did not know who to trust. I was especially happy when the characters from book one was introduced to Seph and I liked seeing Jack from a different point of view. goes to the special school I did feel for
Let me know what you think of the book.

Thank you for being a fan.
