THE SECRETS OF THE IMMORTAL

NICHOLAS FLAMEL SERIES

BY MICHAEL SCOTT

WIN THE FIRST FOUR BOOKS IN THE SERIES!! < /b>

ABOUT BOOK ONE -THE ALCHEMYST:

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 protectsthe Book of Abraham the Mage. Its the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. Thats exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind wont know whats happening until its 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.

ABOUT BOOK TWO -THE MAGICIAN:

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. Perenelle is still locked up back in Alcatraz and Paris is teeming with enemies. Niccolo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, is working for Dee. Hes after them, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenelle. 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 Prophecy is becoming more and more clear.

Its time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And theres only one man who can teach it to her: Flamels old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain-alchemist, magician, and rock star. Josh and Sophie Newman are the worlds only hope-if they dont turn on each other first.

ABOUT BOOK THREE - THE SORCERESS:

Nicholas Flamels heart almost broke as he watched his beloved Paris crumble before him. The city was destroyed by Dee and Machiavelli, but Flamel played his own role in the destruction. Sophie and Josh Newman show every sign of being the twins of prophecy, and Flamel had to protect them and the pages from the Dark Elders.

But Nicholas grows weaker with each passing day. Perenelle is still trapped in Alcatraz, and now that Scatty has gone missing, the group is without protection. Except for Clarent-the twin sword to Excalibur. But Clarents power is unthinkable, its evil making it nearly impossible to use without it! s darkne ss seeping into the soul of whoever wields it.

If he hopes to defeat Dee, Nicholas must find an Elder who can teach Josh and Sophie the third elemental magic-Water Magic. The problem? The only one who can do that is Gilgamesh, and he is quite, quite insane.

ABOUT BOOK FOUR - THE NECROMANCER:

San Francisco:

After fleeing to Ojai, then Paris, and escaping to London, Josh and Sophie Newman are finally home. And after everything theyve seen and learned in the past week, theyre both more confused than ever about their future. Neither of them has mastered the magics theyll need to protect themselves from the Dark Elders, theyve lost Scatty, and theyre 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 Flamels 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 wasnt the only one being held on the island. Behind the prisons 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 a! nd Peren elle 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, hell have to train a necromancer. And the twins of legend will make the perfect pupils. . . .

. . . watch for the next in the series, THE WARLOCK, coming out in May of this year!
