About this audiobook

In this fifth book in the Magykal series, Septimus ends up on a captivatingly beautiful island, one of seven set in a sparkling sea. He's stranded there with his badly injured dragon, Spit Fyre, along with Jenna and Beetle. There are some strange things about the island, including a Magykal girl named Syrah, a cat-shaped lighthouse that has lost its Light, and an eerie presence that sings to Septimus—can he escape the persistent call?

Trouble is also brewing for Lucy and Wolf Boy, who have become entangled with some nefarious sailors at sea, and for Milo Banda, Jenna's father, who is harboring a mysterious treasure chest in his ship's hold.

Charismatic storyteller Angie Sage continues Septimus Heap's Magykal journey with more laugh-out-loud adventures, more enchanting charms and spells, and an ever-deepening understanding of the interior life of a young hero.

Ratings and reviews

i love the book. the audio is horrible. every time they switch characters they skip some words. or they cut and are really bad at editing. anyway this is 5 dollar audio, not 28 dollar, even in this economy. just really poorly done. i almost want a refund.

I have really enjoyed listening to the Septimus Heap Novel series ... Thank you Angie Sage for sharing your creativity.
