Book description
Enter the world of Septimus Heap, Wizard Apprentice. Magyk is his destiny.
Septimus faces a perilous quest to find Nicko and Snorri, who have been
trapped back in time.
Everyone at the Castle is realising that Nicko and Snorri's chances of
coming back are slim. Septimus, aided by Alchemist Marcellus Pye, learns
of a place where all time meets: the House of Foryx. But how does he get
there? Jenna and Septimus find Nicko's notes from the past and discover
that he knows of the House of Foryx as well and has been creating a map
to plot the house's hidden location. With the help of the Questing Stone
and Nicko's faded maps, will Septimus be able to save Nicko and Snorri?
Meanwhile, Simon Heap has taken on Merrin Meredith, former apprentice to
DomDaniel, as his own apprentice, giving Merrin an opportunity he has
been waiting years for. With the help of a frightening creature called a
Thing, Merrin plans to reclaim the identity he used to have . . . that
of Septimus Heap. â  Wonderfully imaginative . . . Children of all
