Absolutely Fantastic 6th Book submitted by 0liviap0pp on June 24, 2011, 10:49am Darke is the 6th book in the Septimus Heap series. I think this is the best of the whole series so far. Full of adventure, action, and excitement, Darke will delight Septimus Heap fans of all ages.

Septimus is about to embark on his Darke Week task, which is to Reverse the accidental Banish on former ExtraOrdinary Wizard and ghost Alther Mella.

Jenna is taken hostage by the Port Witch Coven but escapes with the help of Marissa, former witch of the Wendron Witches but now member of the Port Witch Coven. Unfortunately, Jenna is not without the scars of war: She was forced to be made a witch to escape through the window.

Meanwhile, Merrin Meredith stirs up and creates havoc in the Palace with the help of his Two-Faced Ring. He creates a Darke Domaine and with the help of his servant Things, spreads the Darke Domaine. Marcia does a Call Out and creates a Cordon and a Safety Curtain, but it gets broken, and the Things pull the Darke Domaine and spread it throughout the entire Castle. Marcia takes refuge in the Wizard Tower and protects it by putting up a Safety Shield.

Beetle convinces Marcia to Seal the Hermetic Chamber on him to protect the secrets of the chamber. Septimus successfully finishes his Darke Week by using the Portal to the Darke Halls through the Bottomless Whirlpool of Bleak Creek to Reverse the Banish on Alther, and Septimus and Spit Fyre fight Merrin and his Endengered Darke Dragon.

With the help of Simon Heap, disgraced and exiled brother, Marcia finds the Paired Codes, saves them from Merrin Meredith's stomach (he swallowed the Manuscriptorium Code), and puts them together. Simon reveals the secret, and Septimus and Marcia climb to the top of the Wizard Tower, chant the UnDo, and dispel the Darke Domaine.

Angie Sage has revealed that the clue to the title of the seventh book is in Chapter 47....I have found it!

Must Read submitted by Cami K on July 15, 2011, 4:45pm The 6th in the Septimus Heap series, this book is full of adventure and mystery just like the five that came before it. It is a magical tale with witches, ghosts, dragons and even a family of rats. If you like adventure and fantasy book, this is a must read.

Darke submitted by Smiles on June 15, 2012, 1:44pm Marcia accidentally banned Alther Mella and someone is builing a Darke Domain in the castle! Will Septimus be able to rescue Alther and not get killed himself AND trust his brother, Simon?

Not a Disappointment submitted by Parzival on June 15, 2012, 2:51pm I love this series but a friend of mine told me it was boring so I put it off. A while later I read it and told him he was most definitely wrong. I hope there is a sequel!

Amazing submitted by Memoria1224 on June 28, 2012, 4:15pm This the best book in the series. I can't wait until the 7th book comes out!

Darke submitted by SBNB on July 28, 2012, 7:07pm After a slightly disappointing 5th book, this 6th book in the series is a page-turner!

:) submitted by waffoo2 on August 11, 2013, 6:53pm This is a REALLY awesome book! Officially my favourite in the series!

Simon redeemed submitted by mtrax on July 30, 2014, 11:17am Book 6 sees Simon Heap back on the side of good.

This is the book where I couldn't understand some of the characters. Weird things are happening. Should we go investigate? No, let's wait to see if they get weirder.
