When Jason finds a powerful talisman --a huge opal called the Dragonheart--buried in a cave, his role takes on new importance. The stone seems to sing to Jason's very soul -- showing him that he is meant for more than anyone guessed. Trinity's guardians take the stone away after they realize that it may be a weapon powerful enough to save them all. Without any significant power of his own, and now without the stone, what can Jason possibly do to help the people he cares about -- and to prove his mettle?Madison Moss can feel the beating heart of the opal, too. The desire for it surges through her, drawing her to it. But Maddie has other things besides the Dragonheart on her mind. She has a secret. Ever since absorbing the magical blow that was meant to kill Seph, she's been leaking dark powers. Although Maddie herself is immune to magic, what would her friends think if they knew what kind of evil lay within her? Trinity's enemies are as enthusiastic about her powers as she is frightened. They think they can use her to get to the Dragonheart -- and they'll use anyone Maddie cares about to make her steal the stone for them. Moral compasses spin out of control as a final battle storms through what was once a sanctuary for the gifted. With so much to lose, what will Jason and Maddie be willing to fight for -- and what will they sacrifice? Every man is for himself in this thrilling conclusion to the Heir trilogy.

The Dragon's Apprentice (The Dragon's Apprentice)
by James RileyIn this hilarious fantasy adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of the Story Thieves series, a girl strikes a deal with the ancient, cranky dragon she accidentally summoned to teach her the forbidden magic she needs to save her mother.STOP. Don&’t read any further. There are magic spells in this book, and the Emperor has forbidden anyone from learning magic, because it&’s way too dangerous! If you try one of the spells, any number of terrible things might happen (or so the Emperor says). Don&’t be like Ciara, a twelve-year-old girl living in the tiny village of Skael. When she used a spell from within this book, she ended up summoning a dragon. A DRAGON! Those things breathe fire! From their mouths! She&’s obviously doomed. And don&’t listen if Ciara tells you that dragons won&’t hurt humans, and that they even once taught us magic, a thousand years ago. Definitely don&’t pay any attention to the fact that the dragon she summoned, Scorch, might be willing to help rescue Ciara&’s mother and free her village from the Emperor and his Warden, because it&’s all obviously a big lie. So put this book down, and forget about it. Magic is just way too dangerous. After all, you wouldn&’t want to summon your own dragon, would you?
