The Warrior Heir, by Cinda Williams Chima (Hyperion, 2006)

Teenage soccer hero Jack Swift discovers that he’s really part of an ancient, secret lineage called the Weirlind, a group of magical guilds who use warriors in duels to the death in order to settle disputes and decide leadership. One of the last warriors, Jack is naturally in hot demand as two rival Houses and numerous free agents try to stake their claim over him. Can his allies keep him alive long enough to train him to his full potential, before he’s forced to choose a side, and fight for his life? Surprises abound as the plot twists and turns, and no one is who they seem to be in this exciting, fresh new story that spans centuries and continents.
