• Sophie and Josh are working at a bookstore and a cafe when Dee comes for the Codex. Here, they witness Nicholas and Perenelle using magic, and discover that Nicholas is not a bookseller, but is indeed an ancient alchemyst being kept alive by making the elixir of life (a secret from the Codex) for him and Perenelle. He can use magic. He needs the Codex back to make the elixir of life again, or he and Perenelle will die before the month's end. Also, if Nicholas does not retrieve the Codex, Dee will summon the Dark Elders to destroy the world and return to an age in which humans are but slaves and food.

  Flamel becamequickly takes them to a Dojo to enlist the greatest alchemystaid of all time, sought afterScathach, an extremely powerful ally. Dee assaults the Dojo, but is thwarted by kingsFlamel and Scathach. Flamel then leads the twins and Scathach to attempt to secure the aid of Hekate, who can awaken the twins' magical potential. Dee discovers this, and princes, by emperorenlists the aid of Bastet, and evenMorrigan. The trio mount a massive assault on Hekate's shadowrealm, attempting to destroy the Pope himself.

After a long, grueling battle, Scathach clears a path for the twins and Flamel. While escaping, they encounter Dee, and witness the Bookpower of Abrahamthe Mage. Thisancient book will uncoversword known as Excalibur, which he draws. They see him transform a wereboar into pure ice, then shatter the knowledge of turning an ordinary metal into gold, common stones to precious jewel. But morestatue. Scathach remarks that she thought that this, much more, he found the recipe for immortality!Excalibur had been lost when Artorius died.

  The book contains powerful knowledgetwins, Scathach, and if inFlamel escape the wrong hand, might beshadowrealm rapidly after, shortly before the enddestruction of Hekate, the world. For 600 years, NicholasYggdrasill, and Perenelle livethe entire shadowrealm. As they escape, Dee uses Excaliber to protectfreeze the bookYggdrasill, and Hekate, whose life and power is linked to the secretstree, transforms to ice as it holds. And now, let’s embarkdoes. As this occurs, Dee is informed that Flamel and Scathach have escaped with Nicholas and Perenelle while protectingthe twins. In his rage, he shatters the secretsYggdrasill, which is now incrushes Hekate into dust, killing her. At this point, they travel to Scathach's grandmother, the handWitch of Endor (also called "The Mistress of Dr. John Dee,Air"), who teaches Sophie her magical secrets quickly by giving the girl all her memories.

  While they are there, Dee has a bad plan for it. Together with them arefound out that the prophecy in the Codex speaks of Sophie and Josh. He tempts Josh to join him, while practicing necromancy and raising thousands of corpses to assault the Elders and Sophie Newman, who havewith. Josh almost agrees, but at the last moment he realizes he will lose Sophie if he agrees, and distracts the necromancer long enough to escape with Scathach, Sophie and Nicholas using a leygate (where lines of energy, or ley lines on the powerglobe cross) to escape to saveParis, where the world as we know it.

  book ends. The story is not relatedbook ends with the Harry Potter series so don’t expect to see him here. Thisconclusion that the Witch has survived and Dee is anotherstill searching, leaving the book packedwith magical adventure, alchemyst and immortality.a cliffhanger.

• He holds the secret that can end the world. The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life. The records show that he died in 1418. But his tomb is empty. The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it. Sometimes legends are true. And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.

• Nicholas Flamel became the greatest alchemyst of all time, sought after by kings and princes, by emperor and even the Pope himself. That is because he discovered the secret of the Philosopher’s Stone which is hidden in the Book of Abraham the Mage. This ancient book will uncover the knowledge of turning an ordinary metal into gold, common stones to precious jewel. But more that this, much more, he found the recipe for immortality!

  The book contains powerful knowledge and if in the wrong hand, might be the end of the world. For 600 years, Nicholas and Perenelle live to protect the book and the secrets it holds. And now, let’s embark with Nicholas and Perenelle while protecting the secrets which is now in the hand of Dr. John Dee, who has a bad plan for it. Together with them are Josh and Sophie Newman, who have the power to save the world as we know it.

  The story is not related with the Harry Potter series so don’t expect to see him here. This is another book packed with magical adventure, alchemyst and immortality.
