Only the medicine he has to take daily and the thick scar above his heart set him apart from the other high-schoolers. Then one day Jack skips his medicine. Suddenly, he is stronger, fiercer, and more confident than ever before. And it feels great - until he loses control of his own strength and nearly kills another player during soccer team tryouts. Soon, Jack learns the startling truth about himself: he is Weirlind - part of an underground society of magical people who live among us. At the head of this magical society sit the feuding houses of the Red Rose and the White Rose, whose power is determined by playing The Game - a magical tournament in which each house sponsors a warrior to fight to the death. The winning house rules the Weir. As if his bizarre magical heritage isn't enough, Jack finds out that he's not just another member of Weirlind - he's one of the last of the warriors - at a time when both houses are scouting for a player. Jack's performance on the soccer field has alerted the entire magical community to the fact that he's in Trinity. And until one of the houses is declared Jack's official sponsor, there are no limits to what they'll do to get Jack to fight for them. . . . 1072532 book 2006 The Warrior Heir (The Heir Trilogy #1) total:2145|5:837|4:831|3:370|2:88|1:19| 2145 8814 3200 434 2 3 false true Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 28 17:22:12 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 12 19:01:26 -0700 2009 Warrior Heir up well, not bad enough to recommend against it, but nothing special.
