Publisher's Summary
When Silas Heap unseals a forgotten room in the palace, he releases the ghost of a queen who lived 500 years earlier. Queen Etheldredda is as awful in death as she was in life, and she's still up to no good. Her diabolical plan to give herself everlasting life requires Jenna's compliance, Septimus' disappearance, and the talents of her son, Marcellus Pye, a famous alchemist and physician. And if Queen Etheldredda's plot involves Jenna and Septimus, then it will surely involve Nicko, Alther Mella, Marcia Overstrand, Beetle, Stanley, Sarah, Silas, Spit Fyre, Aunt Zelda, and all of the other wacky, wonderful characters that made Magyk and Flyte so memorable.

From AudioFile
Gerald Doyle gives an atmospheric reading that transports listeners to a fantasy land where wizard-in-training Septimus Heap takes on the evil spirit of Queen Etheldredda, returned from death to bring destruction on the country with a strange epidemic. Sage's writing is full of sensory details, all of which gain power in Doyle's narration. The large cast of characters, variety of settings, and shifting time periods and viewpoints make it difficult to begin the series with this third adventure. But Doyle's voice moves easily through a range of emotions, giving each character individuality. His performance hooks listeners on this fast-moving tale. (c) AudioFile 2007
