Editorial 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.

septimus heap book 3 book was in great shape, they listed exactly what to expect and it wasn't even as bad as I thought it might be. (used book) Couldn't even tell it wasn't new really. Shipping was good. Would order again.

The story moves fast (I literally read the book in a single sitting it was so engrossing), with the added sense of urgency given the distance Septimus is from his own time.... more info
He couldn't put the series down My son who is 11 read this series over the summer & could not put it down. It was great to see him excited about something besides gaming.
Queen Etheldredda was my favorite character. Septimus Heap, book 3. Septimus is kidnapped by 500 year old physician Marcellus Pye and taken back in time. Marcellus needs Septimus (the seventh son of a seventh son) to help him turn his potion of everlasting life into a potion for everlasting youth. Princess Jenna, joined by Nicko and Snorri, searches for Septimus. They are determined to bring Septimus back to his own time. Meanwhile, Queen Etheldredda, the ghost of Marcellus's mother, is released from an enchanted portrait by Silas Heap. She... more info
