Septimus Heap: The Darke Toad

Angie Sage

The New York Times–bestselling author returns to the Magykal world of her “deliciously spellbinding” fantasy series with this eBook exclusive novella (Kirkus, starred review of Septimus Heap: Magyk). 
 
In this tale that takes place between the stories told in Magyk and Flyte, the witches of the Port Witch Coven want DomDaniel’s powerful Darke Toad—and will go to ridiculous lengths to get their hands on it. But first, Simon Heap must get his master to the Port Witch Coven’s door, which may require a bit more Darke Magyk—and a much stronger stomach—than he bargained for. Is Simon up to the task? 
 
Meanwhile, ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand has taken her young Apprentice, Septimus Heap, on a field trip to the Port. But what Marcia had hoped would be a fun yet educational outing quickly turns chaotic, for it slipped Marcia’s mind that tonight is Hallowseeth—the perfect night for Darke mischief to go unnoticed among the revelers. 
 
With Angie Sage’s characteristic humor, beloved characters, and Magykal setting, Septimus Heap: The Darke Toad is a must-read for every Septimus fan.

But to give Old Witch some company, they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby . . .   Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill. And Amy and Clarissa are about to find that out, when Old Witch magics them into her world of make-believe-made-real, in “a very special book that is certain to give boundless pleasure—at any time of the year” (The Horn Book).   “A classic for Halloween.” —Library Journal
