The Wizard Heir
by Cinda Williams ChimaSeph McCauley has spent the past three years getting kicked out of one exclusive private school after another. And it's not his attitude that's the problem: it's the trail of magical accidents - lately, disasters - that follow in his wake. Seph is a wizard, orphaned and untrained, and his powers are escalating out of control. Worse, as the magical accidents that plague him grow in intensity, Seph makes a discovery: the stories he's been told about his parents' life and death are fabrications. The people he most trusted have been lying to him.After causing a tragic fire at an after-hours party Seph is sent to the Havens, a secluded boy's school on the coast of Maine. Gregory Leicester, the headmaster, promises to train Seph in magic and initiate him into his mysterious order of wizards. Maybe here he will find a community he can trust? But Seph's enthusiasm dampens when he learns that the training comes at a steep cost. Who can he trust, when everyone around him is keeping secrets? And where can he turn, when he finds himself at the centre of a war he may well not survive?

The Wizard of 4th Street
by Simon HawkeWyrdrune was a student wizard with a penchant for botching spells. Kira was a street-wise tough whose smash and grab act was big on New York City's seamier streets. In spite of themselves they managed to pull off the heist of the 23rd Century under the noses of a room full of sorcerors bidding on the runestones they absconded with. But, of course, this being the new age of the return of magic, the runestones were enchanted. Which means the stones keep coming back to them even after being fenced several times, resulting in Wyrdrune and Kira developing an entourage of fences, hired killers and law enforcement types of both the magical and lay sort. Even more unfortunately, this is not a simple come hither spell, but one that reaches back to eons gone by in a previous and even more powerful age of magic that also wound through the Age of King Arthur and Camelot.
