New York Times Bestselling Series

“Few fans of the best-selling Septimus Heap series will be disappointed.” —ALA Booklist

“Readers will be indubitably hooked—worrying, laughing, and gasping over the nonstop adventures of this engaging troupe.” —VOYA (Starred Review)

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.

With heart-stopping action and a dash of humor, Angie Sage continues the fantastical journey of Septimus Heap.

When the ghost of an ancient queen returns, the Castle is thrown into chaos—and Septimus is sent tumbling 500 years into the past.

• A Chilling Ghost Story: The malevolent spirit of Queen Etheldredda has a plan for eternal life, and she needs Princess Jenna to make it happen, no matter the cost.
• Alchemie and Ancient Sickness: Flung back in time, Septimus must learn the forgotten arts of Physik from the famous Alchemist Marcellus Pye to survive a mysterious plague spreading through the Castle.
• A Beloved Wizard Apprentice: Separated from his master, Marcia Overstrand, and everyone he knows, Septimus Heap must face his most dangerous challenges yet, completely alone.
• Humor and Heart: Full of the wacky, wonderful characters that fans love, including Spit Fyre the dragon, this action-packed adventure is perfect for readers of middle grade fantasy.
