The Wizard Heir (Heir Chronicles #2)

The enchanting 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?

“The Heir Chronicles is a fantastic blend of magic, action, and classic high-school drama. Cinda Williams Chima weaves an exciting modern-fantasy world filled with danger, secret legacies, and characters who are easy to root for. The writing is fast-paced and immersive, with plenty of twists to keep you turning pages. Though some scenes can be intense, the content stays fairly clean(some mild swearing), making this an excellent pick for teens and anyone who enjoys contemporary fantasy with heart and adventure.” — Purely Fiction Reader Review
