Over time, Boy comes to trust the others and it soon becomes evident that he has incredible magical powers. They end up at the home of Silas's aunt, Zelda, who is a white witch. When the evil necromancer, DomDaniel, arrives at the Tower, Marcia, Jenna, the Boy, Silas, and Jenna's younger brother Nicko, escape through a rubbish chute. He knows nothing about his parentage and has been taught that wizards are bad. The boy reveals he's a member of the Young Army and has no name. There, they find a young guard, the same age as Jenna, collapsed and frozen near the tower entrance. Marcia and the Heaps prepare to escape the castle and Jenna goes with Marcia to the Wizard's Tower. Marcia's story is backed by Alther Mella, the ghost of a former Extraordinary Wizard who often visits both the Heap house and Marcia. Marcia reveals that Jenna is the daughter of the deceased queen, has been recognized by an assassin, and is now in danger. Silas and Sarah know Jenna is not their biological daughter but have never questioned her parentage. Before the birthday celebration can begin, the Extraordinary Wizard, a woman named Marcia Overstrand, arrives at the Heap house. She lives in a castle where magic was once very important but has since been all but abolished and where most wizards are feared or shunned. Jenna is about to celebrate her tenth birthday with her parents, Sarah and Silas Heap, and her six brothers.
