Ten years later, the Custodian Guards control the citizens of Castle, and the Supreme Custodian rules them all. Sarah and Silas determine not to tell anyone else about their baby’s real identity. Sarah deduces that her adopted daughter must be the missing princess. The citizens of Castle had believed that the queen was simply ill after giving birth to her baby girl. Sarah’s gossipy friend, Sally Mullin, says that the queen is rumored to have been shot six months ago by her own Custodian Guards. Six months after Jenna is found, Sarah Heap learns that the queen of Castle has died. Silas places the infant girl in his grieving wife’s arms, and they raise the girl as their own, naming her Jenna. The Matron Midwife quickly leaves, carrying a bundle containing Silas’ deceased son. When Silas enters his home, the Matron Midwife announces that Septimus has died. Marcia warns Silas not to tell anyone that he found the girl and to let everyone believe that the baby was born into his family. He decides to raise the child as his own, but just before Silas arrives home, he is stopped by Marcia Overstrand, the town’s ExtraOrdinary Wizard.
On the way home, Silas discovers an abandoned infant girl in the forest. Silas brings home some herbs for his newborn son, Septimus Heap, who is supposed to be a very special and Magykal child because he is the seventh son of a seventh son.
Ordinary Wizard Silas Heap walks through the forest toward his home, located within a large walled-town called Castle.
