Their birthday party is to take place on Longest Night, when tradition dictates every window in the Castle will display a burning candle. Septimus and Princess Jenna are just about to turn fourteen, the age of adulthood. For this exercise he has chosen to rescue Alther, a ghost who was accidentally Banished (a lot of words start with capital letters in these books) by Marcia, but once again the baddies have other ideas. Now he's apprenticed to Extraordinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand, she of the short temper and fabulous shoes, and he's about to embark on a horrendously dangerous part of his training, called Darke Week. And Septimus is that son, although it took quite a time for him to find it out. The seventh son of a seventh son has magical powers, as we all know.
