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?

Seph McCauley, a 16-year-old orphan, bounces from private school to private school, wreaking havoc wherever he goes. Seph is an untrained wizard, and people in the magical community want to get their hands on him, some for good and some for ill. He must escape harm while finding a teacher to train him. There are intrigue, action, and powerful spells being cast, but Robert Ramirez narrates at the same steady pace no matter what. Except for two characters with British accents, Ramirez doesn't vary his voice, and everyone else--males and females, young and old--sounds the same. Add to this some random odd pauses, and an enjoyable tale is unfortunately marred. G.D. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
