The Darke Toad

Septimus Heap, Book 1.5

De: Angie Sage

Narrado por: Gerard Doyle

DomDaniel returns in a hilarious escapade with the witches of the Port Witch Coven. In this tale that takes place between the stories told in Magyk and Flyte, the witches 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-listen for every Septimus fan.

Loved it

I’ve missed the world of Septimus Heap, so it was great to a new story, even a short one.

Marcia takes Septimus the port, and they find a little adventure. Familiar characters including Marcia, Septimus, the port witches and Jakie Fry, Dom Daniel, Simon Heap, and Alice Nettles

Angie Sage

this is a great series. I have listened to them often. I love them.

A golden nugent...

This short story adds an extra dimension of character and color to an already great story.

loved it as I love all of these books

somehow I skipped this book and read it last but it was good. I would change one thing about it though, and that would be the length it was too short lol

I love this book 2It's a it's just amazing I

The book was really good I would prefer The whole series in 1 book So I could read the whole book on audio all Night Yeah it's a really good book So I really really want it chill a whole series in1book

Welcome back to early days, Heaps

Very happy to have ***anything** in the Septimus Heap series, even if most of my disliked characters are in this one. But also several grand characters. It was a well-written addition to the world and plot, with some additional understanding of Simon...plus grand to see Septimus as a young boy again. Perfectly narrated.

A Fun Little Addition to the Series

This was an enjoyable short addition to the larger series. It provides a fun little story and some extra insights into the world.

A short story set between Magyk and Flight, this is pure comfort

Magyk is my comfort place. As such, this little tidbit is a perfect addition. It’s fun, warm, funny, and exactly the level of excitement I needed. The narration is excellent. The characters are rich with personality. It provides insight into each of them at a point in time between books one and two.

Thank you, Angie Sage! I love this world you created.

An Interesting short tale

This novella tells more about the Wendron Witches and Simon Heap’s desire for greatness. It’s short, but gives more insight into these antagonists, with a touch of light from Septimus and Jenna.

If you thought the series was too dark

This little book serves as a palliative for those who thought the series was too dark. It gives the coven, Simon and DomDaniel more stage time too. Other than that, not sure what I got out of it.
