The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel #3
Book Three in the New York Times bestselling series.
Nicholas Flamel's 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 Clarent’s power is unthinkable, its evil making it nearly impossible to use without its darkness 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.
"Ending in a welter of revelations, reunions and unresolved plotlines, this page-turner promises plenty of action to come." - Kirkus Reviews
"Immersively imagined, this series remains a great choice to fill the post-Potter vacuum." - Booklist. Grades 7-10.
"This book is a must-read for fans of the series, but even they will tire if the author doesn't get to the point with reasonable dispatch." - School Library Journal
