Synopsis
Magyk is the first novel in Angie Sage's seven-book Septimus Heap series, published in 2005. On the night the seventh son of a seventh son is born to the Heap family, the midwife declares the newborn, Septimus, dead, while Silas Heap, out searching for help, finds an abandoned infant girl with violet eyes lying in the snow and brings her home to be raised as Jenna. Years later, when the ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand and Silas discover that Jenna is in fact the kingdom's missing princess, whose mother was murdered in a palace coup, they must spirit her away from agents of the ruling Supreme Custodian who want her found.
