I want more!!

Now enough drama, 'cause I promised myself I would write a synopsis of "The Wizard Heir" for anyone who cares (warning: spoilers ahead)

Seph, short for Joseph, is 16 and has been to one exclusive private school to another for the past few months. Not because he's a problematic kid, but because of the trail of magical disasters that follow in his wake. Namely, flying sheep, and massive fires.

Seph is a wizard, a powerful one, and his powers are out of control. After causing a tragic fire at a party, Seph is sent to the Havens, a secluded boys' school, where the headmaster, Gregory Leicester is a wizard planning to use his students' powers for his own wicked plans. He does this by linking with his wizard students, through an old magic ritual, allowing himself to utilize their powers, and thus making him a very powerful wizard.

After having refused to link with Leicester, Seph is tortured through nightmares conjured by Leicester. Seph then meets Jason, the other lone student that refused to help Leicester. The two boys help each other teach themselves magic until one day Leicester finds the two of them together. Seeing no other way out, Jason Haley, hops the fence and begins his journey to find the Dragon, a political figure who's aim is to foil Leicester's plans.

Desperate, Seph breaks into Leicesters' office and sends an e-mail to his lawyers office, in hopes that they would break him out of the Havens. After having found out about the e-mail, Leicester summons Seph to his office and tortures him physically. In the midst of this chaos, Linda Downey, Seph's guardian(who turns out to be his mother and the Dragon), appears and demands Leicester lets Seph go, which he does reluctantly.

Seph relished his newfound freedom, even though he has to stay in the small town of Trinity, Ohio. (Seph dislikes small towns). There he meets, Jack, his cousin, Ellen, Jack's girlfriend, many many other Wier (people with magic), and Madison Moss, an elicitor, who literally sucks magic out of people.

After a series of "fights" with Leicester and his unwilling henchmen, Seph is finally free after he and Jason with the help of Madison kills Leicester by throwing a large stone onto his head. (albeit very unimaginative of them, but what the heck, as long as he dies)

Personal favourite quotes:
"'So. What's the secret of great kissing, Seph?' Jack asked. 'Is it technique, duration, intensity, or power?'
Seph sighed theatrically. 'Oh, all right, Jack. I'll kiss you. But just this once.'"

"She went to run away, but he pulled her toward him and kissed her on her forehead. 'For luck,' He said.
She crossed the yard, hoping she was the kind of girl whose luck could be improved by kisses"

"They smashed the stone down on Leicester's head. His heels drummed on the pavement for a long minute, and then he went still."

Oh, and I can't wait to read the first book, about Jackson Swift!! LOL
Hope this is even readable. XD

Ciaozzzzzz~
