The fourth book in the New York Times bestselling series The
Secrets of the Nicholas Flamel--The Necromancer
San Francisco:
After fleeing to Ojai, then Paris, and escaping to London, Josh
and Sophie Newman are finally home. And after everything they''ve
seen and learned in the past week, they''re both more confused than
ever about their future. Neither of them has mastered the magics
they''ll need to protect themselves from the Dark Elders, they''ve
lost Scatty, and they''re still being pursued by Dr. John Dee. Most
disturbing of all, however, is that now they must ask themselves,
can they trust Nicholas Flamel? Can they trust anyone?
Alcatraz:
Dr. Dee underestimated Perenelle Flamel''s power. Alcatraz could
not hold her, Nereus was no match for her, and she was able to
align herself with the most unlikely of allies. But she wasn''t the
only one being held on the island. Behind the prison''s bars and
protective sigils were a menagerie of monsters-an army for Dee to
use in the final battle. And now Machiavelli has come to Alcatraz
to loose those monsters on San Francisco.
Perenelle might be powerful, but each day she weakens, and even
with Nicholas back at her side, a battle of this size could be too
much for her. Nicholas and Perenelle must fight to protect the
city, but the effort will probably kill them both.
London:
Having been unable to regain the two final pages of the Codex,
Dee has failed his Elder and is now an outlaw-and the new prey of
all the creatures formerly sent to hunt down Flamel.
But Dee has a plan. With the Codex and the creatures on Alcatraz,
he can control the world. All he needs is the help of the Archons.
But for his plan to work, he must raise the Mother of the Gods from
the dead. For that, he''ll have to train a necromancer. And the
twins of legend will make the perfect pupils. . .
