The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima is a fantasy book about magic. In this book, there are normal people and normal societies, but there are also people in the four magical guilds. They are wizards, enchanters, warriors, seers, and sorcerers. They have magic crystals in their hearts giving them special powers. Jack, a sixteen year old boy, notices that he is super strong and powerful one day when he didn’t take his medicine. As a baby, he had a crystal implanted in him when he lost his own. He was a wizard, but his wizard doctor, Dr. Longbranch, implanted a warrior’s crystal. There are not many warriors left, and a tournament that is held needs warriors to fight for the two opposing houses, the White Rose and the Red Rose. Jack is manifesting and getting all his powers. He finds a magic sword that was his aunts, and that’s when the race to get to Jack turns on. Both houses want Jack to fight for them. Then, a new girl comes to his school named Ellen Stephenson.

Also, a new assistant principle comes to Jack’s school. His name is Mr. Hastings, and he is a wizard. He starts to train Jack to be a warrior. Then, Jack realizes that his town is swarming with wizards, evil and good. It is now no longer a safe haven. When Jack goes on a trip to England, he is forced to go to the tournament. It is a fight to the death, so who will he be fighting? Who will he fight for? It’s up to you to find out!
