In the gripping fifth installment of the Septimus Heap series, 'Physik' thrusts young Septimus and his companions into a perilous journey through time and magic. The saga begins when Silas Heap inadvertently unseals a long-forgotten room within the Palace, unleashing the ghost of Queen Etheldredda, a monarch as malevolent in death as she was in life, who reigned five centuries prior. Still obsessed with power, Etheldredda wastes no time in asserting her dark influence, pulling Septimus and his beloved sister Jenna back into a dangerous past, while orchestrating a sinister plot that threatens to unravel the fabric of the present. With the help of the alchemist Marcellus Pye and the enigmatic witch Merrin Meredith, Septimus must master ancient spells and confront formidable challenges, including a deadly plague, to thwart the Queen's tyrannical ambitions and prevent history from repeating its most terrifying mistakes. It's a race against time and spectral forces to save their world from Etheldredda's eternal grasp.
