Brief Book Summary:
The covenant that was meant to keep the wizard wars at bay has been stolen, and Trinity must prepare for attack. Everyone is doing their part -- Seph is monitoring the Weirwalls; Jack and Ellen are training their ghostly army; even Anaweir Will and Fitch are setting booby traps around the town's perimeter. But to Jason Haley, it seems like everyone wants to keep him out of the action. He may not be the most powerful wizard in Trinity, but he's prepared to fight for his friends. 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.

This book starts good and ends average. At the beginning you are amazed at the new discovery. At the end, your like okay? Why did I read this book? This book is very predictable. I knew what was going to happen, and it didn't happen as grandly as I thought it would.
This book dwells on alot of things that you wonder why Cinda even wrote about. The story behind Madison is in a way needed, but not very interesting or fun to read about. I think of her as the main character of the book. Shes a hardcore static character that starts and ends the book the same person. At times you really want her to do something, but she does it the same as she always does.
For the majority of the book Seph is described as a drugged up wizard. Jack sees himself turning into a "killing-machine", and Ellen is just focused on fighting as well.
There are a few twists, but they don't really seem like twists. You kind of expect them to happen. Some things the author wrote about happen to fast, and your don't understand that the thing actually happened till the author explains it later on. The characters don't seem very life like, all concentrating on their one major goal.
Overall I am disapointed with this book. The Warrior Heir is excellent, the Wizard Heir is captivating and the Dragon heir is bland. The focus on more characters is a downfall. You don't really have a favorite, and that is what Cinda excelled at in the other two. You really cared about the characters.

This book was a great read and everything came full circle. There were plot twists that made this book hard to put down and was full of action and suspense. Characters show thier true colors and everyone is involved in this final battle for Trinity. Every man/woman for themselves, both Wier and Anaweir alike are at war to save someone they care for. A great ending to a great series.

I am a big fan of this series. It's well-written and original. After so much action, adventure, and drama in the very first and second books, I had high expectations for the third. The author definitely did not disappoint! We the readers got to know more about each character as they were further developed in this volume. There was a lot of action, which made it an excellent, eventful read. However, I do have a few gripes. Each character had their own problem to deal with that lasted throughout the entire book. I felt that while it was captivating that each character was further developed, it was even more so a drag. Throughout the book I kept thinking, "get to the end already!" I just wanted to know what would happen and how it would all be tied up. The problem with the book was that it was not a progressive journey to the book's finale, but rather consisted of ample dull story-lines with a moderately satisfying finish. The author seemed to dwell too much on the downtime, instead of focusing on the more important, consequential events that would lead to the big, conclusive finish. Although many questions were answered at the end, it seemed like they were answered in too much of a hurry and the reader did not get enough time to comprehend what had occurred. It was simply not a story that continued escalating. It was very dull in many parts in the middle, and then ended in a pretty good finish. The author could have made the whole book more interesting, instead of forcing the reader to read through the boring parts so they could find out what happens in the end. Despite that fact, the book did have its fair share of action, and was a superb read. I highly recommend it, and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
