July 14, 2010 at 2:00 pm
THAT IS SUCH AN AWESOME COVER!!!!!!!!!!! one of the bast yet……… now i want to read it so badly now because i want to show off the cover and because i can’t bear the wait to read it
July 14, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Mark Zug did such an awesome job.. Angie you picked a good illustrator(or the publishers picked it i don’t know) but still he did a great job!!!!!
oh yeah and i have thisw challenge for myself to try to find where he put his innitials on the cover(it is harder than you think)
July 14, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I know the guy put his initials on the portaraits of Mag. Pap. (A different MZ), but they’re on tthe covers too? Awesome! Can’t wait/ Darke Index from book 4/ WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT???????????
July 14, 2010 at 6:29 pm
P.S. Found it on Books 1, 2, and 4. (Look EXTRA hard on 4.)
July 14, 2010 at 6:37 pm
what about 3?????
July 14, 2010 at 10:08 pm
I couldn’t find it. Could you? 3 and 5 are hard. I found something that MIGHT be it on six.
July 18, 2010 at 12:37 am
don’t know i will try to find ‘em
July 18, 2010 at 1:01 am
His initials were at the back right? (In 4)

Did you notice that the cover of Syren had something different about it than the other covers? They are all kinda based off of a book in the book, but 1,2,3,4, & 6 all have some kind of latch or something that would hold it closed, but syren doesn’t.
It sure seems like the book will live up to it’s name! I can’t wait! I wonder what the tin is…and what’s in it…
July 15, 2010 at 7:36 pm
Not true, Lucy. The cover is Syrah’s journal – The Book of
SyrahSyren. Only it has no illustration in the book.July 15, 2010 at 8:44 pm
No, i was saying that it doesn’t have a kind of latch. 1 & 2 have locks and 3, 4, & 6 have ribbons.
July 16, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Yeah, sorry, you’re right. Well… I think that maybe those rusted things on the corners are the latch.
July 23, 2010 at 10:50 am
Your right lucy, I just noticed that. I think that Syren doesn’t have one because all of the books are supposed to look like a book mentioned in the story. Numbers one three and five show you what I mean.
One is a magyk book, three is a physik book, and five is of course,the ship log that Syrah used as her diary before she was possesd by Syren. Then it became Syren’s diary.
July 17, 2010 at 11:25 pm
I believe the first one is suppose to be sep’s apprentice diary, and flyte is suppose to be the book sep gets about dragon raising from aunt zelda, and three is the I, marcellus, and four is the things Snorri & nicko wrote/drew when they were back in time after ephaniah put them together into a book.
July 18, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Well, it’s probably been said, but as you can see, Darke is the Darke Index from book4. What will Septimus be doing with that?
July 19, 2010 at 12:32 am
Actually Book one’s cover is Sep’s Apprentice Diary because it looks just like they describe his Diary in the book and I bet you there will be seven books in the series because Septimus is the seventh son of aseventh son.

The “thing” on the covers of each book stand importantly for each book. For instance:
Magyk: Dragon Ring
Flyte: Flyte Charm
Physik: Antidote to Sicknesse
Queste: Questing Stone
Syren: SafeCharm
Darke: Who knows?
I’m pretty sure most people have figured that out by now
Just wondering….What does everyone think the box is on the cover of Darke?
July 18, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Well, I know what it is, but I’m not sure I’m allowed to tell. Perhaps Angie will tell you. If not, you’ll discover for yourself when reading Darke
July 23, 2010 at 10:46 am
please don’t tell us!! it would ruin the suspence…..
September 21, 2010 at 4:22 pm
In Physik I think the bottle on the cover is the thing that Marcellus’s evil queen mother drank to become the special ghost.
And the Purple Ribbon on the cover means: Senior Apprentice. As for the box, I have NO idea what it could be.
January 4, 2011 at 7:14 pm
Maybe it has something to do with those silver heiroglyphics on top of the WT.
July 19, 2010 at 4:43 pm
i think it was what held the two faced ring for dom daniel well i guessed so who knows but well can’t wait
July 21, 2010 at 7:15 pm
Angie knows, I cried when I saw the cover, my birthdays in April but i live in Australia,
Is the movie animated?
July 22, 2010 at 10:25 pm
No, the movie is live-action!
July 23, 2010 at 10:36 am
no the movie’s animated. its official. too bad i wanted it to be live action
August 26, 2010 at 6:59 pm
Dear anti-sag, this IS the official blog, so here you’ll find only true informations and official things. The movie will NOT be animated. You can see Angie’s post concerning this here http://septimusheap.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/letters-from-angie-sage-1/

Yup, on some websites it says it is animated, but Angie has confirmed that is DEFINITELY going to be live-action. No doubt about it.
July 24, 2010 at 6:42 pm
I think that in this book Septimus will learn the Dark Magic!
July 31, 2010 at 8:09 pm
This cover is awsome! I’m really looking forward to reading this book. I’ll hope there will be lots of parts about Merrin.
Go go Merrin! You’re the best ohh… and Simon!

Ewww… it looks bad.
Anyone notice it says “the index” on it?
I wonder what’s in the box…
Lol
August 23, 2010 at 5:33 pm
i think the box is the thingy that holds syren.
January 18, 2011 at 4:08 pm
this is going to be a good book
when i read the last part of syren.
i was like,will syrah ever wake up
August 26, 2010 at 4:00 pm
i can’t wait 2 read septimus heap book 6! its going 2 come out in april 2011. and yes the movie is animated. its directed by that guy who made the devil wears prada or something. i think that guy is going 2 mess up the movie. book 6 looks cool i just wish it had more color. i cant wait for the 7th book. i wonder what it is going 2 b about!
August 26, 2010 at 5:52 pm
No, the movie is NOT animated! If you have actually searched the blog, you will see numurous posts confirming that the movie is most definatley live-action and not animated, some of them by Angie Sage herslf. Go on the movie section of the blog for further proof.:)
August 26, 2010 at 7:37 pm
have you guys noticed that the first book is 2 syllables the second book is 1 syllable the thrid book is 2 syllables the fourth book is 1 syllable the fifth book is 2 syllables the sixth book is 1 syllable?
August 26, 2010 at 6:57 pm
I didn’t notice that anti-sag. Maybe the last one will be like the rest of the pattern and be 2 syllables
January 27, 2011 at 4:03 am
i think that the box on the cover is a charm of some sort
September 1, 2010 at 12:29 am
hopefully it has some chocolate maybe a chocolate charm like from book 2. u guys know 39 clues? i think nellie gomez is hot
September 2, 2010 at 11:07 pm
there will be six book in England but I am still waiting for Queste in Slovenia!
September 7, 2010 at 2:00 pm
i wonder whats in the box…
September 9, 2010 at 9:24 pm
I wonder that too!
September 10, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Wow the best cover yet. and I’m guessing that merrin meredith (best character) Plays a pretty important role in this, as he was the last one that had the darke index. Merrin rocks. and He is most definately not stupid. even if he doesn’t know what a party is, and misspells sleuth.
September 13, 2010 at 3:20 am
=[] How can you like Merrin?? His mom stole Septimus as soon as he was born.
And, he is stupid, he didn’t reconize a Live Safe charm and thought it was a scent? How could he become Mancriptitorium scribe not knowing a Live Safe Charm?
January 5, 2011 at 8:10 pm
Yeah… But it wasn’t Merrin’s fault his mum was evil… Mwahahaha jk.
February 5, 2011 at 1:02 pm
I agree with you Max. Merrin is the best!
He is evil (maybe tries to be evil), but I think he’s a very lonely boy who is afraid of darknes.
and…
He is noooooooooooooot stupid! XD
Okay, he is but just a little bit! lol
September 15, 2010 at 4:11 pm
Hey, Merrin & maybe Tertius Fume may have something to do with this one. Notice the cover says “The index”? add the title of the book “Darke” to it and voila it’s
“The Darke Index” which is used by Merrin in book 4 Queste, Chapter The Darke Index. Remember he uses it to Darken AnOthers Destiny, by sending him on the Quest??? I’m so excited, I wanna see if my theory is correct!!!!!!
I luv SH haha his initials are the same as mine SH!!!
SEP ROCKS! (Okay and maybe so does Merrin, I feel sorry 4 him)
September 29, 2010 at 6:49 am
this book looks so so so good can’t wait to read it and can’t wait for the movie to come out
October 18, 2010 at 12:03 am
I think you are right!
Sh is good, but MM is not bad too…XD
October 18, 2010 at 8:14 pm
i love syrah and am so excited for the movie it stinks that its coming out in 2012 though
October 28, 2010 at 10:57 pm
My favorite is Merrin, Beetle, Marcellus, Spit Fyre & Wolf boy ♥
October 31, 2010 at 12:31 pm
this is an awesome cover… maybe that tin on the front has some strange Thing that comes out when it is opened…
November 9, 2010 at 2:55 am
I think angie should write one after this calle spyrit about the deep connections of the spirit world, like how snorri can see through ullrs eyes.
November 25, 2010 at 5:05 pm
I’ve read the first 5 I’m just dissapointed it’s not coming out before Christmas
December 13, 2010 at 3:41 pm
There’s a movie!?!? I think that is awesome! What all is the movie going to cover, like all of the books or just a few?
December 29, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Hey, I just noticed, it says ‘The Darke Index’, I didn’t see the ‘The’ and ‘Index’ atfirst. So this is the book that Merrin was reading from in Queste. Well now I really wanna read it! I CAN’T WAIT TIL APRIL!!
And what’s that thing on the cover? I just love how the sep heap books are always stylized like books in the story with a token or charm on the front. so what’s the box then/?
December 31, 2010 at 10:36 am
In the book Queste, when Beetle and Jenna hear Fume and Merrin talking at the entrance to the vaults Merrin says:”But I thought that…well,as you wrote this book-and I think it’s a really, REALLY good book, the best I’ve ever read ub fact and-” so that means that Tertius Fume wrote that Darke Index book. Just saying so. I know this because I’ve read the books over and over again in my impatientces. Too loong to wait!
January 4, 2011 at 7:23 pm
This is epic there is a movie! I wanted there to be a movie since book 2! I think angie is laughing at our failing atemps to guess what happens in this book. Although some thing tells me it has has something to do with darke…lol bye!
January 7, 2011 at 10:43 pm
I gave up on the septimus heap series when I was younger because it didn’t seem that any new books would come out anytime soon. I found Syren in the library on accident and was like “there’s a new book that I didn’t know about?”
I ended up reading it, and it just leaves me wanting more. I remember why I used to love this series.
One thing that I found funny was Beetle’s apparent yet unannounced crush for Jenna. It was hilarious.
I also want to see how things will turn out for Syrah. I can’t exactly blame her for going out like that, and I’m interested to see how she will be implemented in to Septimus’s life as apprentice. Will she make a difference, or will she still be in a coma.
A thought just occurred to me. It seemed that septimus cared about Syrah a lot. Maybe Darke shows Septimus attempting the use of Darke magic to bring her back? Just a thought.
Also, it says on wikipedia that this will come out July 2011 in the U.K. Anyone now when it will come out in the U.S.A.?
January 27, 2011 at 3:29 am
I think darke magyk or somebody with it tries to eliminate Septimus. I REALLY can’t wait for book 6 I’ve read books 1-5 and knowing there’s a book 6 coming out I have a reason to read! To bad its coming out in april. Reading these books makes me want to actually live in the Septimus Heap world, not as a non-wizard, but a wizard…non-wizards are weird, most of them anyway, not me or any of you or princess Jenna!!!!
January 30, 2011 at 9:57 pm
I think the box is something we haven’t seen in any of the books yet. The symbols on all the other books are brand new to that book so it is probaly the same in Darke. Or we saw it and it wasn’t fully explained, just mentioned. Or we could know something about the box because all of the other book titles were new to the story but Darke has been a recurring theme. Well, who knows?
February 1, 2011 at 2:07 am
I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!! Enough said…
February 5, 2011 at 1:04 pm
i think the book is going to be like a diary or a spell book about darke magyk mand in the last book i think septimas might get murdered duh duh duuhhhhhhhh
February 27, 2011 at 7:52 pm
i think in the box is sleuth
March 1, 2011 at 1:16 am
i do too
March 1, 2011 at 1:17 am
What is sleuth…is it maybe that ball that Simon had?
March 1, 2011 at 2:07 pm
Yes, Sleuth is Simon’s “pet” ball. Will it be of much importance in this book? My mind tells me it will…
March 27, 2011 at 6:50 am
I don’t kno but tertius fume won’t be in the books much longer cuz in Syren marcia said she was gonna ERADICATE him
March 5, 2011 at 1:32 am
OMG….i can’t for this book to publish….
March 14, 2011 at 9:02 am
OH! MY! GOSH! I am so excited for Darke to come out! Septimus Heap is one of my fav series and I am so super excited! Angie Sage is a great author and I am going to explode with happiness when I can get Darke! My entire class thinks I’m obsessed but I can’t help it! I am SO STINKIN’ EXCITED!

April 5, 2011 at 1:45 am
Septimus Heap books is the best!
have read 1-5 books type 10 times and is just waiting until Darke comes out!
April 15, 2011 at 3:15 pm
maybe the box is some sort of darke remedie to revive syrah!
septimus and merrin might become friends!
if syrah was revived do you think she would become marcellus apprentice or share with sep?
I NEED ANSWERS!!! HELP!!!
April 20, 2011 at 8:44 pm
I agree with you that Syrah should be revived. She and Sep make a great couple.
May 3, 2011 at 6:00 pm
Oooooooh!!!! This is going to be so cool!!!! Maybe book 7 will be kind of bluish-white and have something to do with Snorri, snow, and spirits…
April 25, 2011 at 9:22 pm
Septimus & Syrah, sitting in a…
lol just kidding, can’t wait for the book!
April 27, 2011 at 3:21 pm
I’m excited about Jenna meeting her mother at last ! Angie said that to be a young Queen she must be 14 . She also said that Jen is turning 14 in Darke . In Flyte, Queen Cerys said that she shall appear to her daughter when the Time Is Right .
But I think Angie also said that they will meet on book 7 . Bother . =_=
Anyway, can’t wait for Darke ! I want to know how they can retrieve Alther .
May 5, 2011 at 7:06 am
I am really exited about this!!! I cant wait
