Summary
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. . . . The fourth
