The Septimus Heap Series
Book #1, Magyc-Just after the death of the Heap’s family newborn seventh son, they are given a baby girl to care for. Ten years later they are forced to flee their home in The Castle when it turns out the girl is the daughter of the murdered queen, and the Supreme Custodian, who has taken over the city, sends an assassin to complete his destruction of the royal family. Pursued by a professional Hunter, and accompanied by the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, a ghost, and a young soldier known only as Boy 412, they head into the Marram Marshes to find refuge with their aunt, the White Witch. But the Necromancer, DomDaniel, who is in league with the Supreme Custodian, is determined to see them all destroyed and is impossible out run. There is no where to hide
Book #2, Flyte-In this story, Septimus is the apprentice to the Extraordinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand. Jenna, the Princess, is one of his best friends. Marcia is having problems with a Darke Shadow that follows her around everywhere. She has to build a special cabinet in order to capture the shadow so she can be rid of it. She recruits the help of Professor Van Klampff but he can only build a piece at a time very slowly. Marcia is very frustrated by this, but what can she do? Then Jenna is kidnapped by none other than Septimus’ older brother Simon. Jenna can’t believe that Simon kidnapped her and all because of jealousy because he felt he should be the apprentice. How can Septimus get Jenna back and how can Jenna get away from Simon?
Book #3, Physik-When Silas Heap unSeals a forgotten room in the Palace, he releases the ghost of a Queen who lived five hundred years earlier. Queen Etheldredda is as awful in death as she was in life, and she’s still up to no good. Her diabolical plan to give herself everlasting life requires Jenna’s compliance, Septimus’s disappearance, and the talents of her son, Marcellus Pye, a famous Alchemist and Physician. And if Queen Etheldredda’s plot involves Jenna and Septimus, then it will surely involve Nicko, Alther Mella, Marcia Overstrand, Beetle, Stanley, Sarah, Silas, Spit Fyre, Aunt Zelda, and all of the other wacky, wonderful characters that made Magyk and Flyte so memorable.
