Summary

The third thrilling installment of the Heir Chronicles series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cinda Williams Chima.

The covenant that was meant to keep the wizard wars at bay has been stolen, and Trinity must prepare for attack. Everyone is doing their part--Seph is monitoring the Weirwalls, Jack and Ellen are training their ghostly army, even Anaweir Will and Fitch are setting booby traps around the town's perimeter. But to Jason Haley it seems like everyone wants to keep him out of the action. He may not be the most powerful wizard in Trinity, but he's prepared to fight for his friends.

Everything changes when Jason finds a powerful talisman--a huge opal called the Dragonheart--buried in a cave. The stone seems to sing to Jason's very soul, showing him that he is meant for more than anyone knew. Moral compasses spin out of control as a final battle storms through what was once a sanctuary for the gifted. With so much to lose, what will the people of Trinity be willing to fight for--and what will they sacrifice?

School Library Journal Review

Gr 7 Up-The concluding volume (2008) in Cinda Williams Chima's trilogy that includes The Warrior Heir (2006) and The Wizard Heir (2007, all Hyperion) is a fast-paced fantasy set in today's world about a brewing war between good and evil forces. The legendary Dragonheart, a magnificent opal pulsing with enormous power, has been stolen by a teen wizard who hopes to use its power to fight against the evil that is threatening their sanctuary. The story involves many complex characters and an elaborate guild structure among the wizards. The dual story line features a struggle between the White Roses and the Red Roses and the teen's current real-life conflicts. There is enough back story presented that listeners do not have to be familiar with the previous two titles. Robert Ramirez's narration is enjoyable, except for some overly long pregnant pauses and a dreadful Southern accent for one character. This fast-paced novel will complete the trilogy for libraries that have the first two titles in their collections-Cynde Suite, Bartow County Public Library System, Cartersville, GA (c) Copyright 2010.
