In the sixth book of the Magykal series, Alther Mella has been Banished, a Darke Domaine engulfs the Castle, and a Darke dragon is on the loose. Septimus Heap must use all of his skills to save the Castle and the Wizard Tower from destruction: He must enter the Darke. But he cannot do this alone.

Will Septimus succeed in protecting his Magykal world?

Confession: I'm 39 years old and I love to read young adult fantasy literature (thank you JK Rowling)! I started reading the Septimus Heap series on recommendation a few years ago, and just finished reading the latest in the series, Darke. Though I enjoyed the story and, like a good story after it's finished, I thought about the characters and their outcome for a few days afterward, even looking forward to the next book. A lot of stuff was going on throughout this book. Characters were brought back from everywhere, so much so, that I had forgotten who some of them were. A majority of the story doesn't even involve Septimus at all. A lot of focus was put on Beetle and Jenna. Why other characters were even mentioned in the story, I have no idea. They had no integral part to the story unless it was some very slick foreshadowing for an upcoming book. As far as the story goes: Jenna and Septimus are preparing to celebrate their very important 14th birthday. At this time, Jenna will become official Queen and Septimus will take on a very important part of his wizard training--dealing with darke magic. It's dangerous, but every wizard must pass through this phase. Some don't make it back. Of course, this pair cannot peacefully celebrate a birthday without danger following close behind!
My kids and I enjoyed reading this together. We started the series at Book 1, and it's been an entertaining series. This book seemed to have more suspense and greater consequences for the characters involved than the previous couple of books.
There are so many series out there where by book three you think that the writter is surely more conerned about the movie that might get made than the subject This is NOT the case with the Magyk series. Just when you think things are settling down at the palace...WHAM a new adventure begins. Every single book is a well told story with loveable and believable characters. I especially like that the female characters are strong and adventureous with out being overly masculinized. I cannot recommend this series more.
This book was amazing. I had a hard time putting it down. I just wanted to know what will happen next, and next, and next. Out of all the Septimus Heap books, this is my favorite. I like all of them, but this one is my favorite. It is interesting to read how set in their way the grownups are and how inflexible, whereas the kids seem to make smarter and wiser choices. Sometimes it helps to be more childlike then to always be so grown up. That is why I enjoy these books so much.
