Product 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.

AFter reading the Warrior Heir I was very impressed. Now after finishing The Wizard Heir I'm stunned. This book starts off excellent. It's a page turner. Seph is a very likable main character and Liecaster is the perfect bad guy. The author does a great job of making the reader feel as they are actually a fly on the wall watching this play out. The mystery of who is Seph's real parents is maintained throughout the book and revealed close to the end. I must tell you, I had no clue who his parents were. I felt for Seph when trapped at the Havens, the author makes you feel as he'll never escape. Jason is just what Seph needs and keeps the story flying. Madison plays a very interesting role in this book. I hope to see more of her and Seph in the subsequent book. Jack is here from the Warrior Heir along with Ellen, I still love them just as I did in the first. If you are looking for a great series full of sword fights, magic, seers, enchanters, wizards, good and evil, this is the series/book for you.

My 10 year old son read this book and also the very first in the series and found them both a great read.

This is a brilliant read , a gripping combination of magic and adventure,I just couldn't put it down. It's darker than most books but with a storyline that keeps you reading.The main character in the story is seventeen year old wizard Seph Mc Cauley who causes a LOT of trouble(You'll see!) and is shunted from place to place and school to school until he comes to a new boarding school called the Havens. It does get a bit predictable towards the end but it's still fairly exciting and it leaves an opening for another book at the end.I would definitely recommend this for anyone aged thirteen and up who liked the Harry Potter series. (It is a lot darker than the Harry Potter books,just to let you know.)

Another great offering in the Heir series. Nicely ties in the characters we loved (and some we hated) from the very first outstanding book in the series. Can't wait for the subsequent one!!

The book The Wizard Heir by Cinda Williams Chima is one to read. The main character is Joseph McCauley but he goes by Seph. He is a untrained wizard without a family. He was raised by a women who has died and now he is at a brand new boarding school. But things are going well or are they? This book is kind of like Harry Potter meets Blue Bloods. Which are both other really good fantasy novels. The Wizard Heir is good at giving surprises around every other page. You never know what is going to happen next. That is my favorite kind of book. It did not take me long to read. This is one you pick up and can not put back down. Also you get very emotionally attached to the characters that at points you just want to jump into the book and do something about the problems. If you are looking for a book to read, I highly recommend this book. You enter a whole other world.
