On September 28, 1330, in Paris, Nicholas Flamel was born. He is regarded as the finest Alchemyst of his day, over seven hundred years after his creation. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life. Documents indicate that he passed sometime around 1418. Nicholas Flamel is still alive, albeit his grave is empty. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most influential book in history. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. And when he takes it, that's precisely what Dr. John Dee intends to do. Until it's too late, humanity won't realise what is going on. 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. Legends may sometimes come true. And soon Sophie and Josh Newman will find themselves in the centre of history's greatest tale.
