Features & Highlights

  • Read the second book in the
  • New York Times
  • bestselling The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, perfect for fans of
  • The Maze Runner
  • and Percy Jackson and the Olympians.   After fleeing Ojai, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris, the City of Lights. Home for Nicholas Flamel. Only this homecoming is anything but sweet. Perenell is still locked up back in Alcatraz and Paris is teeming with enemies. Nicollo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, is working for Dee. He’ s after them, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenell. For every day spent without the Book of Abraham the Mage, they age one year—their magic becoming weaker and their bodies more frail. For Flamel, the Prophesy is becoming more and more clear.    It’s time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there’ s only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel’s old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain—alchemist, magician, and rock star. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world’s only hope—if they don’t turn on each other first.

Wonderful! Fantastic! Continues a great story!

There's nothing like turning world history on it's ear in such a believable way. Every chapter ends on a cliff-hanger and you have to keep going! The only disappointment is this second book isn't read by the same person as the first and it's a bit of an adjustment, but it certainly doesn't detract from the story itself.

Read this book - but read all six in order to get the best out of them

This series of books, there are six, is well worth a read.

You may be led to beehive that the books a aimed at kids, but I enjoyed them immensely and would recommend them to anyone of any age

Better than the Alchemyst

This book, the second in the series of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, dove deeper into the backgrounds of our main character, his wife, and the man who is trying to bring about the return of the Dark Elders, Dr. Dee. I also loved the fact that Mr. Scott introduced my patron saint, Jeanne D'Arc into the story...the fact that she was a pupil of Scathach, the Warrior was an added delight. Also the addition of Machiavelli as a not so bad villain was ingenious. Michael Scott really shows that evil doesn't always have an ugly face and that he really knows how to write an intelligently, evil villain in the main antagonist of Dee. I cannot recommend this series highly enough, as it is the first series since HP that I can really sink my teeth into so to speak. I eagerly await the arrival of the third book in the series, the Sorceress. Should be arriving shortly...
