Dark magic and fast-paced adventure in this second book in the New York Times bestselling series The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. Now published with an exciting new cover look and introduction from the author!
Dr John Dee has destroyed Paris in his mission to find Nicholas Flamel and Sophie and Josh Newman. The two missing pages of the book of Abraham the Mage are still with them and the Dark Elders need them for the Final Summoning. They will not rest until they are in power and the human race has been destroyed. Nicholas Flamel knows he must protect Josh and Sophie and the pages from the Dark Elders. For this he must rely on Clarent - the sister sword to Excalibur - and the sword's evil power makes it nearly impossible to use without darkness seeping into the soul of whoever wields it. What will be the price to pay for the twins to remain protected and the Dark Elders to be defeated?
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.

In the Shadowrealm, warriors -including Scathach and Palamedes- have been summoned to travel back in time to destroy the lost city of Danu Talis. The island must fall to save the modern world. In San Francisco, Josh has chosen a side - and he will not stand with his sister, Sophie, or the Alchemyst, Nicholas Flamel.

San Francisco: A Nicholas y Perenelle Flamel solo les queda un día de vida y tienen una tarea que completar. Tienen que defender San Francisco. Los monstruos recluidos en la isla de Alcatraz han sido liberados y se dirigen a la ciudad. Si nadie los detiene, destruirán todo y a todos los que se encuentren a su paso. Incluso con la ayuda de los más grandes guerreros de la historia y los mitos, ¿conseguirán la Maga y el legendario Alquimista defender la ciudad? ¿O estamos ante el principio del fin de la raza humana? Danu Talis: Sophie y Josh Newman han viajado diez mil años al pasado, a Danu Talis, siguiendo al Doctor John Dee y a Virginia Dare. Y en esa isla legendaria es donde comenzará y acabará la batalla por el mundo. Scathach, Prometheus, Palamedes, Shakespeare, Saint-Germain y Juana de Arco también se encuentran en la isla, pero nadie está completamente seguro de por qué o por quién lucharán los gemelos. Hoy la batalla de Danu Talis se gana o se pierde. Pero ¿lucharán juntos los gemelos legendarios o bien se separarán: uno para salvar el mundo y el otro para destruirlo?
