Magyk cover

The UK No #1 bestselling book, which heralded a Magykal bestselling series, is about to relaunch with a fabulous new jacket design across the series

A hugely imaginative and darkly humorous adventure, with a richly layered plot and brilliantly quirky characters

The first book in a Magykal series.

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 is about to change, and the most fantastically fast-paced adventure of confused identities, magyk and mayhem, begin.

Praise for Septimus Heap series:

Warm, funny and humane, Sage takes care with the destiny of even her smallest characters, and is a real discovery
