There’s more trouble in store for Septimus Heap, this time in the form of inept wizard Merrin Meredith. When Merrin uses Darke Magyk to help Tertius Fume, the nasty ghost of the first Chief Hermetic Scribe, the result sends Septimus on a Queste. No apprentice before him has survived this undertaking, but Septimus is determined to use this chance to journey to the mysterious House of Foryx to rescue his Time-lost brother, Nicko. Septimus enlists the help of Jenna and Beetle and together they set out on another adventure full of non-stop action, vibrant characters, and plenty of laughs.

Praise for Queste:

“Still showing no signs of strain, the saga of wizard-in-training Septimus Heap cruises through its fourth episode…thanks to generous wads of breezy charm, gusts of spectacular Magyk and a buoyant plot combining drama and comedy in just the right proportions.”—Kirkus (starred review)
