An Ohio teenager discovers he\'s part of an underground society of magical people living in hiding among the normal.
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..
The winning house rules the Weir.
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.
Soon, Jack learns the startling truth about himself: He is Weirlind; part of an underground society of magical people who live among us.
And it feels great-until he loses control of his own strength and nearly kills another player during soccer team tryouts.
Suddenly, he is stronger, fiercer, and more confident than ever before.
Then one day Jack skips his medicine.
Only the medicine he has to take daily and the thick scar above his heart set him apart from the other high-schoolers.
Before he knew about the Roses, 16-year-old Jack lived an unremarkable life in the small Ohio town of Trinity.
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.
