Description edit
The Covenant that was meant to keep the wizard wars at bay has now been stolen, and the sanctuary of Trinity must prepare for attack. Seph monitors the Weirwall, while Jack and Ellen train their army of ghosts to face an onslaught of wizards. Even Anaweir Will and Fitch are setting traps... read more
Ridiculously Simplified Synopsis edit
Characters edit
- Jason Haley: A rebellious teenage wizard who holds a long-time grudge against D'Orsay. Befriends Seph in The Wizard Heir, when he helps him escape from the Havens. In The Dragon Heir, he starts a relationship with Leesha.
- Joseph (Seph) McCauly: Add a description of this character.
- Madison (Maddie) Moss: Madison first appears as a girl Seph tries to pick up on the beach, which fails. He's never been rejected before (due to the fact that male wizards are supposedly irresistible to Anaweir woman), so he follows her and finds out that she's been sketching him. When he tries to persuade her to tell him why by releasing magic into her, leaves him lying on the ground exhausted without lifting a finger. This reveals her as an elicitor, an extremely rare type of Anaweir that has the ability to suck magic of wizards when a wizard tries to inflict it upon them and are impervious to magic and charms (which explains why she was not impressed by Seph's performance). She's Seph's love interest afterward.
- Jackson (Jack) Swift
- Ellen Stephenson: Ellen was sent by the Red Rose in The Warrior Heir to capture Jack. A warrior who was raised cruelly by wizards with the intention of playing her in the Game, Ellen broke free from her wizard masters by destroying the Game with her boyfriend, Jack. In The Wizard Heir Ellen is still with Jack and continues to fight off the Roses.
- Alicia (Leesha) Middleton: The backstabbing "queen" of Jack's old school, Leesha was first seen as the Anaweir girl who'd been going out with Jack in The Warrior Heir before he met Ellen. She later dumped him for a hotheaded bully, Garret Lobeck. Later on, after Jack started to date Ellen, Leesha discovered that Jack was a warrior and revealed that she was not Anaweir, but a wizard for the White Rose and attempted to capture Jack to sell in the wizard black market as a trader. Leesha failed to capture Jack in the end. In the Wizard Heir, Leesha shows up again as a trader of wizard goods, but flees after a wizard drug she slips in Seph's drink causes him to burn down a building.
- Nicodemus (Nick) Snowbeard: Nick has long been Jack's caretaker. He's a wizard and always caries around his staff with a bears head on it. Trained Jack and Seph in wizardry and houses Leesha for some time in The Dragon Heir.
- Devereaux D'Orsay: Claude D'Orsay's son, his mother is already deceased. Proves to be a rather promising wizard. Eager to take in all his father's knowledge.
- Linda Downey (Aunt Linda): She is an enchanter. She is Seph's mother. She is Jack's mom's sister.
- Leander (Lee) Hastings: A wizard who is Seph's father and Jack's teacher. Very skilled wizard.
- Claude D'Orsay: A wizard who acted as Gamemaster and then planned to retrieve the Dragonheart from the city of Trinity even if it meant laying seige to it.
- Becka: Jack Swift's mom

Glossary edit
- Weir: A person belonging to any of the magical guilds, and therefore possessing magical powers due to the Weirstone behind their breastbones. From one of the five guilds: Wizard, Warrior, Enchanter, Sorcerer, and Soothsayer, or Seer.
- Weirstones: The magical stones found within the chests of the weir. The type of stone determines which guild he/she will belong to.
- Magical Guilds: There are numerous types of Weir and these include, seers, sorcerers, enchanters, warriors, and wizards.
- Anaweir: A person who does not have a Weirstone or magical powers; a regular human.
- Elicitor: One who possesses a different type of power that allows one to draw the magic from others. Does not have a Weirstone, and is considered Anaweir. They are also resistant to any charms, spells, or magic.
- Weirsbane: A potion made to suppress one's powers, shutting down their Weirstone for a certain amount of time.
- The Houses: Most of the magical world professes allegiance to one of the two Houses. These are the Red Rose, led by Wylie and the White Rose led by Jessamine Longbranch. Beginning in the second book of the trilogy, many people also claim independence, or being a follower of the Dragon. There are also the unaffiliated, who belong to neither house or are undecided.
- Sefa: A magical item that gives off certain extra powers and is created by sorcerers. Readers are most familiar with the dyrne sefa that Jason Haley uses to perform his unnoticeable charm.
- Mind-Burner: A magical drug that enhances one's powers, but not without side effects.
- Raven's Ghyll: The center of the magic. Previously where the tournaments were held, and by this book, where D'Orsay is "hiding".
Errata edit
On page 142, in the chapter "Terror In The Crypt", Nick Snowbeard's bear head staff, which is actually a powerful sefa, is broken when he experiments on the Dragonheart with it. But on page 379, in the chapter "To The Salt Mines", it says that Nick got up using his staff.
One of the characters, Alicia (Leesha) Middleton, has different eye colors in each of the three books. In The Warrior Heir, her eyes are gray, in The Wizard Heir, they're cat yellow, and in The Dragon Heir, they are violet-gray.
