Barely escaping Dee's undead army in Ojai, Sophie
and Josh Newman, by way of Leygate, the secret pathways that span the Earth, have arrived in Paris, the city of Flamel's
birth. However, their arrival didn't go unnoticed. Niccolo Machiavelli -- Immortal, art collector, master manipulator, head of the French Secret
Service, and servant of the Dark Elders -- is on their trail. After their near
capture at Sacre Coeur in Montmartre, Nicholas realizes that they have few places to turn for asylum. As
Machiavelli draws closer to capturing them with each attempt, Flamel
realizes that he needs an ally. The Comte de Saint Germain -- one of
Flamel's original students, Immortal, adventurer, charlatan, alchemyst,
and rock star -- is just the man for the job. After Dee's destruction of the
Yggdrasil, The World Tree, something was awakened, so powerful that it could destroy the world, The Nidhogg. Flamel describes this monstrosity from Norse legend as a cross between a giant snake and a dragon. John Dee is willing to take this risk to capture Flamel and the twins, perfectly willing.
The Magician is filled to the brim
with historical references and characters from mythology. The titular character is Dee, court magician for Queen Elizabeth and the character on which James Bond, 007, is based. An exciting blend of magic, history an modern technology, The Magician is a joyride for all ages.
