from Blood and Magic

...a surge of something escaped his hand and the bow of the pirate ship blew away.

Wizard's Spawn, a new series from the author of the Warriors, Heroes, and Demons trilogy, follows the exploits of a new generation.

Nails and Brayson are misfits by birth. Brayson—a Cross, son of a faerie and a human—should live in the comfort and safety of Crosstown, but the circumstances of his conception force him to flee. Nails—a boy created from magic and the blood of his mother's, dead, KaAnian lover—is left with powers he does not understand and cannot control. Nails' and Brayson's friendship, and their need to belong somewhere other than on the outskirts of society, sends them on a quest to find a way to rid Nails of his magic. But, in a land full of slavery, pirates, faeries, wizards and thieves, every step contains danger and calamity until Nails must face the ultimate challenge; accept his magic or kill Brayson and all those he holds dear.
