Uma série sobre o sétimo filho de um sétimo filho e uma bala que sempre encontrará sua marca

Septimus Heap

Todos os detalhes mencionados estão presentes: o sétimo filho, as balas nomeadas, a família real é deposto.

breve trecho do resumo da Wikipedia:

Upon reaching his home, Silas sees the midwife run out with a bundle of cloth, wailing that his newborn Septimus, the seventh son of a seventh son, is dead. Silas and his wife, Sarah, decide to raise the baby girl in place of Septimus, as if she was their own daughter. They name their child Jenna.

Months later, Sarah learns from a friend that the queen has been assassinated, and the castle is under the control of the Supreme Custodian. As well, the queen's newborn daughter had gone missing. Her friend also says that the assassination had occurred months before, but had been kept a secret. She mentions that it happened around the time Alther Mella, Marcia's mentor, had been killed. Sarah realises that Jenna was the missing princess, but decides to keep this a secret from everyone, other than Silas.

Isso soa muito como a série Septimus Heap .

O sétimo filho de um sétimo filho é Septimus, também conhecido como Garoto 412. A garota que foi objeto da tentativa de assassinato é Jenna.

A família de Jenna foi assassinada usando balas mágicas de prata com nomes inscritos nelas:

"Here you are," Aunt Zelda said, handing the silver bullet to Jenna. "It has been looking for you for ten years, and now its search is over. You are safe now."

Jenna smiled uncertainly and rolled the solid silver sphere around her palm with a sense of revulsion; although, she could not help but admire how perfect it was. Almost perfect. She lifted it up and squinted at a tiny nick in the ball. To her surprise there were two letters carved into the silver: I.P.

"What's I.P. mean?" Jenna asked Aunt Zelda. "Look, it's here on the bullet."

Aunt Zelda did not reply for a moment. She knew what the letters meant, but she was unsure about telling Jenna.

"I.P.," murmured Jenna, thinking it over. "I.P...."

"Infant Princess," said Aunt Zelda. "A named bullet. A named bullet will always find its target. It doesn't matter how or when, but find you it will. As yours has done. But not in the way they intended.

Este pode ser o livro The Spook's Apprentice , sobre o qual o filme de 2014 Sétimo Filho é vagamente baseado.

Eu pessoalmente não li o livro, então eu não sei quantas semelhanças existem entre ele e sua descrição, mas eu vi o filme, e o aspecto "Sétimo Filho de um Sétimo Filho" é > muito proeminente, ao ponto em que o sétimo filho em questão é algum tipo de escolhido / salvador.
