Overview

A man named Silas Heap’s son is born, who he names Septimus, but he is proclaimed dead by the midwife soon later.  Silas soon finds a baby girl, seemingly abandoned, who he raises as his own.  They later learn she is the princess, daughter of the assassinated Queen, and is being hunted by the Queen’s successor, the Supreme Custodian.  Jenna (the princess) then goes on the run with a few friends, including Boy 412, a member of the Young Army led by the Supreme Custodian, who she rescued from freezing to death in the snow.  Little do they know how large a role this buy has to play in the future…

The Septimus Heap series is a fantastically written story for fans of fantasy.  The books in the series are:  Magyk, Flyte, Physik, Queste, Syren, Darke, and Fyre.
