In this original enovella complementing the bestselling Septimus Heap series, Dom Daniel returns in a hilarious escapade with the witches of the Port Witch Coven. The witches want Dom Daniel’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. Meanwhile, Extra Ordinary 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 revellers.With Angie Sage’s characteristic humour, beloved characters, and Magykal setting, The Darke Toad is a must-read for every Septimus Heap fan.
