Description

Enter the world of Septimus Heap, Wizard Apprentice. Magyk is his destiny.

A powerful necromancer plans to seize control of all things Magykal. He has killed the Queen and locked up the Extraordinary Wizard. Now, with Darke Magyk, he will create a world filled with Darke creatures. But the necromancer made one mistake. A vital detail he has overlooked means there is a boy who can stop him—the only problem is, the boy doesn't know it yet.

For the Heap family, life as they know it is about to change, and the most fantastically fast-paced adventure of confused identities, magyk, and mayhem, begins.
