![]() ![]() Finally, it seems that only one place will take him. ![]() Little accidents – and not-so-little ones – keep him moving from one private school to another. He has the power of a wizard, but after spending his childhood trying to suppress it, he finds it blazing out of his control. Raised by a foster-mother with a sorcerer’s knack for material-magic, he has only the sketchiest possible notions of the world of weir or his place in it. He doesn’t know who his real parents were. Joseph McCauley – Seph to his friends – seems innocent enough. The result has been a perpetual wrangling for power over all the magic in the world, and innocent people are often caught in the crossfire. Two main parties, the White Rose and the Red Rose, have been in conflict for many generations. The wizards are strong, but their strength is divided by mutual enmity. The most powerful of the weirlind are the wizards, who for hundreds of years have ruled over the Anawizard Weir (enchanters, warriors, etc.) as masters over slaves. ![]() The Anaweir, like the Muggles of Harry Potterdom, are everybody else – and they don’t even know that such people exist. You will know, for example, that the Weir are folks who are born with a magical stone inside them, a stone that gives them certain powers, depending on whether they are sorcerers, seers, enchanters, or warriors. If you have read the first book in this trilogy, The Warrior Heir – which I highly recommend – you will already know a few things as you begin this second book. ![]()
