Plot
In the fourth book, Septimus goes on a perilous quest to the House of Foryx to find Nicko and Snorri, who have been trapped back in time. Everyone at the Castle is slowly beginning to realize that their chances of coming back are slim. Septimus, aided by ancient alchemist Marcellus Pye, learns of a place where all time meets: the House of Foryx. But how does he get there? Jenna and Septimus find Nicko's notes from the past and discover that he knows of the House of Foryx as well and has been creating a map to plot the house's hidden location. With the help of the Questing Stone and Nicko's faded maps, will Septimus be able to find the House of Foryx, and save Nicko and Snorri? Meanwhile, Simon Heap has taken on Merrin Meredith, former apprentice to DomDaniel, as his own apprentice, giving Merrin an opportunity he has been waiting years for. With the help of a frightening creature called a Thing, Merrin plans to reclaim the identity he used to have - that of Septimus Heap. (Some say that the House of Foryx is a place that Septimus and company have been to before- like Aunt Zelda's house)
Back Cover
There’s trouble in the Palace, and it’s all because Merrin Meredith has returned, bringing the Darke Magyk with him. More trouble arrives in the form of Tertius Fume, a dead Extraordinary Wizard, who is determined to send Septimus on a Queste that he doesn’t want to go on. The Queste will lead him to the mysterious House of Foryxx, a place where all Times meet, and the place where Septimus and Jenna and Beetle fervently hope they will be able to find Nicko and Snorri, who were trapped back in time in Physik. Queste, like all of the books in the Septimus Heap series, is filled with non-stop action, humor, and fantastical adventure, as Septimus continues his journey of Magykal self-discovery.
