PathFinder is the first book of the TodHunter Moon series, which is part of the magical world of Septimus Heap. Twelve year-old Alice TodHunter Moon has just become old enough to learn the secrets of the PathFinders, when she is suddenly forced to leave all that she has known to save her best friend. When she later arrives at the Wizard Tower, and is greeted by the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, Septimus Heap, she discovers gifts that she didn’t know she had. These gifts come with great responsibility, though, and she is soon on a quest to save her people from the dark magyck that threatens their very existence.
