SFBC Review:
It's been a year since the gifted seventh son of a seventh son discovered his real family and true calling. As Apprentice to ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand, he's mastering the fine arts of Conjurations, Charms, and other Magyk, while Jenna—a young, abandoned girl raised by Septimus's family—is adapting to life as the Princess and enjoying the freedom of the Castle. But something sinister is afoot in Heap country. Marcia is being menaced by a Darke Shadow, who trails her everywhere, and Septimus's angry brother Simon re-emerges from the Marches bent on a revenge no one understands. When Simon kidnaps Jenna, Septimus and his brother Nicko set out to find her through a nightmare forest full of hungry wolverines, flesh-eating trees, and Forest Wraiths. The Necromancer, Marcia's corrupt predecessor, has been defeated…so why is the Darke Magyk still lingering? B&W illustrations. Jacket art by Mark Zug. (512 pp.) 2006.
