On the shortest day of the year, as the Castle is lit with candles and everyone prepares to celebrate, Wizard Apprentice Septimus Heap marks his fourteenth birthday. He has reached a new stage in his Apprenticeship: Darke Week. Awe-inspiring, terrifying, unbelievably important, Septimus's future will depend on what happens during this week. He chooses a dangerous mission to restore his good friend Alther from Banishment. But as he embarks on this trial, something Darke and terrible engulfs the Castle. Septimus and his friends are about to face their most perilous challenge yet . . .
Enter the world of Septimus Heap, Wizard Apprentice. Magyk is his destiny. In the fifth book of this Magykal series, Septimus and his friends find themselves on an island whose secrets are as dark and dangerous as its inhabitants. Septimus Heap returns to the House of Foryx with Spit Fyre to pick up Jenna, Nicko, Snorri, and Beetle. But the journey home does not go well and when Septimus and his friends are caught in a storm, Spit Fyre crashes into the Rokk Lighthouse. They are rescued by the lighthouse keeper who is disturbingly sinister, and who has an equally sinister cat . . . And all the while, Septimus is trying to fight the strange pull he's feeling to the island and its mysterious secrets.
Septimus faces a perilous quest to find Nicko and Snorri, who have been trapped back in time. Aided by ancient Alchemist Marcellus Pye, he learns of a place where all time meets: the House of Foryx. But how does he get there?
A baby girl is rescued from a snowy path in the woods. A baby boy is
stillborn. A young Queen is taken ill. An ExtraOrdinary Wizard mysteriously
resigns from his post. And all on the same night. A string of events,
seemingly unconnected, begins to converge ten years later, when the Heap
family receive a knock at the door. The evil Necromancer DomDaniel is plotting
his comeback and a Major Obstacle resides in the Heap family. Life as they
know is about to change, and the most fantastically fast-paced adventure of
confused identities, magyk and mayhem, begin.
The evil necromancer DomDaniel has been disposed of, but something Darke is
stirring. A Shadow pursues ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand around,
following her every move, growing stronger every day. Septimus senses
something sinister is afoot, but before he can act, Jenna is snatched - taken
by the most unlikely kidnapper. Septimus must rescue his sister but does not,
at first, realise what he will be facing. 'Flyte is the second of Angie Sage's
engaging and energetic novels about Septimus Heap ...We can't get enough.
More, please!' The Times
