The Enchantress (Book Six, The Secrets of the Immortal Flamel)

The final battle for our world, and for all worlds, has begun. The Time: Ten thousand years ago. The Place: Danu Talis, Atlantis, original home of the Elders. Machivelli and Billy the Kid have betrayed Dee, refusing to release the monsters of Alcatraz, and are now being attacked by the creatures they helped to collect and harbor. Separately, Dee, Dare, Josh and Sophie have all arrived on Danu Talis. Almost immediately, however, they are met by a strange welcoming party, the Elders  Isis and Osiris. Dee's Masters and . . . Sophie and Josh's parents. Not far away, Marethyu, the Hook-handed man, has led Scatty, Joan of Arc, Saint-Germain, Palamedes, and William Shakespeare to the island kingdom as well, to assist in the upcoming battle, the sinking of Danu Talis. The current ruler, Aten, has been deposed by his brother Anubis and mother Bastet who plan to take the kingdom for themselves. However, Isis and Osiris have a different agenda, they will use Sophie and Josh, the supposed rightful rulers of Danu Talis, to take power. The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel ends with this stunning conclusion. All will be revealed and it's anyone's guess who will make it home alive.

The Enchantress is an absolute joy of a book. It is filled to the brim with gods, historical figures, battles, suspense, and a jaw dropping finale. In The Enchantress, we finally learn the identity of my favorite character: Marethyu, the Hook-handed man. (Hint: He is someone we have already met.)
