They name her Jenna, unaware that she's the Princess. Instead, the Queen's newborn daughter is thrust into their arms for them to raise as her own. But he is pronounced dead by the midwife and ferretted away. His father, Silas, was also a seventh son, meaning that Septimus will have great power. On the same night, a family of Ordinary Wizards, the Heaps, down in the castle town awaits the birth of their seventh son, Septimus. They murder the Queen and The Archmage of the Castle, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard of the time, Alther.

One unfortunate evening, an evil wizard and his underlings invade the Castle of a peaceful, unnamed nation. Also like the Harry Potter books, they do not skimp out on the Nightmare Fuel for young readers. Like the Harry Potter books, they take place in a rather whimsical fantasy world resembling a sort of mash-up of Medieval European Fantasy and the modern day. Septimus Heap is a series of Young Adult fantasy novels written by Angie Sage.
