<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> An Ohio teenager discovers he's part of an underground society of magical people living in hiding among the normal. What's more, he finds out he's one of the society's last warriors--and the feuding houses of the society are scouting for players for a magical tournament. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <br>Before he knew about the Roses, 16-year-old Jack lived an unremarkable life in the small Ohio town of Trinity. Only the medicine he has to take daily and the thick scar above his heart set him apart from the other high-schoolers. Then one day Jack skips his medicine. Suddenly, he is stronger, fiercer, and more confident than ever before. And it feels great-until he loses control of his own strength and nearly kills another player during soccer team tryouts. <p/>Soon, Jack learns the startling truth about himself: He is Weirlind; part of an underground society of magical people who live among us. At the head of this magical society sit the feuding houses of the Red Rose and the White Rose, whose power is determined by playing The Game-a magical tournament in which each house sponsors a warrior to fight to the death. The winning house rules the Weir. <p/>As if his bizarre magical heritage isn't enough, Jack finds out that he's not just another member of Weirlind-he's one of the last of the warriors-at a time when both houses are scouting for a player. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Fans of action/adventure fantasy, and even videogames will find this an absorbing read."--<i><b>BCCB</b></i> </br></br>"The story cleverly entwines ancient magic and contemporary adolescence in a coming-of-age story that works on both levels."--<i><b>KLIATT</b></i> </br></br>"Twists and turns abound in this remarkable, nearly flawless debut novel that mixes a young man's coming-of-age with fantasy and adventure.
